Electronic waste (e-waste) is a mixture of various metals, particularly copper, aluminum, and steel, which are attached to, covered with, or mixed with various types of plastic and ceramics. Discarded personal computers, cellular phones, televisions, medical equipment, and control instruments contain hazardous materials and become e-waste. Disposal of those materials has now become a focal point for both governments and the general public.
