Recycling

Every computer contains about four killograms of lead and small quantities of deadly cadmium and mercury. Other hazardous materials used in computers include hexavalent chromium, PCV and PCB plastic and brominated flame retardants. All of these contribute to the poisonous cocktail of heavy metals found in landfills. The hazardous materials will enventually find their way into the water supply and if electronic equipment is burned, cancerous dioxins are given off.
