Why Is E-Waste a Problem?
E-waste is a big problem all over the world. Every year, there is more and more of it. This is not good for our health and the environment.
Health Problems
E-waste has dangerous things inside, like lead and mercury. When these things get into our food and water, they can make us sick. Breathing in bad air from burning e-waste is also harmful.
Harm to the Environment
When we don't recycle e-waste, it piles up in big garbage places. This takes up a lot of space and can hurt the land and animals. Also, our electronics have special metals inside that we can use again, like gold and silver. If we don't recycle them, we waste these important things.

Use E-Waste Recyclers: E-waste recyclers are people or companies who take our old electronics and make them into new things.
