Definition of E-Waste
Suggest include a statement to the effect that, "E-waste can include several categories of consumer electronics that are determined to be obsolete by its owners, who subsequently seek a disposal solution."

Legality?
Indeed, there have been violations of the law in exporting e-waste, but most of it is perfectly legal.. we Americans are just too lazy and greedy to pay for our own ewaste recycling. I'm not sure it's fair to say that in most cases it's illegal, though. Lequis 22:54, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

"Countries that enforce electronic recycling" section
This section is a long list (in an awful vertical format) with no additional info. Also the ref given is far from suitable for WP. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:40, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
