Recycling E-Waste on Earth Day

When Earth Day was first proclaimed in 1970, no one had any idea what "e-waste" was, much less what to do with it.

As we evolved into a nation of consumers with a veracious appetite for technology, the problem of what to do with our old tech began to have an impact.

Today, e-waste is said to be growing at a rate 3X the rate of general municipal waste so the problem is just going to get worse.

The most disturbing statistic is the paltry percentage (less than 5%) of e-waste that is being recovered.

Listen in as the Data Doctors give you tips, encouragement and resources to join the move to properly dispose of e-waste in honor of Earth Day!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on Facebook or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the ask a question page.
