Some E-waste facts and figures

This PDF contains some helpful data on amount/distribution of e-waste.

Unsurprisingly, most e-waste is generated in affluent countries and then exported to India, China, and other Asian countries (with China receiving 90% of the waste stream).

Other interesting facts- most US consumers have two to three obsolete computers in their garages or storage space. The US is one of the only countries in the world that has not yet ratified the Basel Ban (which requires countries not to export e-waste to other members of the treaty.)
