WHAT IS E-WASTE

E-Waste is a term used to cover items of all types of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and its parts that have stopped functioning or have stopped serving the purpose it was manufactured for. It is effectively any household item with circuitry or electrical components with power or battery supply.
