• E-waste represents 2% of America’s trash in landfills, but it equals 70% of overall toxic waste
• Because computer processing power doubles roughly every two years, many old computers are being abandoned. In 2005, Americans discarded 47 million computers, up from 20 million in 1998.
• Fewer than 20% of cell phones are recycled each year, but if we recycled just a million cell phones it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions equal to taking 1,368 cars off the road for a year.
