The U.S is the largest producer of e waste, producing 2.4 million tons of it. Many of these materials contain rare earth elements and poisonous metals such as mercury. However, the Federal government is getting more aggressive in the reduce, reuse, recycle campaign. There's a new law making the federal government more responsible for e waste. Incineration or dumping e waste into landfills would be no longer acceptable. Much money would be saved in the recycling of e waste.
