Talk:Electronics recycling

Merging
There seems to be 3 parallel threads here which need to be combined/redirected and correctly linked:


 * Electronics recycling
 * E-waste
 * WEEE

NGOs
There are some non-profit organizations which accept old computers. They refurbish them, make sure they have up-to-date protection against malware, make sure all the stuff on them is legal, for example not have stuff left by old owner that ought to have been deleted. Then these old computers are delivered to various institutions that cannot afford to buy new computers, such as charities, and folks in other nations. User:AlMac|(talk) 02:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

GAO = US Government Accountability Office
The GAO has looked into this topic and issued a report worth reviewing by editors working on this article.

Electronic Waste: Strengthening the Role of the Federal Government in Encouraging Recycling and Reuse. GAO-06-47, November 10. http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-06-47

Urgh
This one should be a redirect to E-waste - it's a POV stub as it is. dreddnott 04:45, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
