Computer recycling or electronic recycling is the recycling or
reuse of computer or other electronic devices. In 2007 the
United States environment protection agency said that more than
63 million computers in the US were traded in for replacements
or discarded. Today, 15% of electronic devices and equipment are
recycling in the United States. Most electronics waste is sent
landfills or incinerated, which releases materials such as lead,
mercury or cadmium into the soil, groundwater, and atmosphere,
thus having a negative impact on the environment. Many materials
used in computer hardware can be recoveredbut recycling for use
in future production. Reuse of tin, silicon, and iron,
aluminumand variety of plastics that are present in bulk in
computers or other electronics can reduce the coasts of
constructing new systems. Components frequently contain lead,
copper, gold and other valuable suitable for reclamation.Where
