“WHERE DOES WE PLACE THE WASTES”?
•Dumping in rivers.•Land filling.•Burning.
“DUMPING IN RIVERS”
• Electronic &Electrical wastes when dumped into rivers, the water gets polluted due to the presence of elements like lead,
mercury etc in those goods.
“LAND FILLING”
• Dumping of wastes such as electrical & electronic goods or any other wastes on ground can be said as “LAND FILLING”
“BURNING”
• The e-wastes when burnt after dumping on ground leads to emission of toxic gases.

oCadmiumoHexavalent chromium
oOther hazardous materials
NOTE: Maximum contribution of these materials should be only 0.1% by weight.
“What’s the stuff in those e-wastes”…?
….and left for local children to “EXPLORE”..
CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL WASTE• Install CFL and LED bulbs• Unplug cell phone chargers when finished– Many devices still drain electricity when plugged in
• Install motion detector light switches– Great for classrooms, hallways, offices
• Use task-specific lighting as needed– Use lamps instead of overhead lights for entire area
