Document Summary
Electric waste is discarded electrical or electronic devices. When these devices are not disposed of properly, they are often washed in acid or burned in order to extract the valuable materials such as copper inside. #2: think back on your own personal electronic purchasing habits. Give a few sentences justification for this frequency (there is no right or wrong answer, just an exploration of our habits). My family has a policy where we don"t get new electronics until the old ones completely break. After the old electronics don"t turn on anymore, we either sell them back to the original company so they can use the parts for new devices, or we donate them to companies that recycle them.
