When was the last time a broken DVD player lead to a trip to the repair shop? If you can even find a repair shop near you, the odds are good the cost to fix your DVD player will be more than the price of a new one. The reality is we don't fix electronics anymore, we replace them.

The end result is electronics - that contain toxic substances, including lead, nickel, cadmium, mercury, brominated ?ame retardants - ending up in landfills around the world. The environmental group called E-Stewards estimates only 11 to 14 percent of e-waste is sent to recyclers ? the rest ends up in landfills or is burned resulting in soil, water, and air pollution.
