Expert Answer:
Discarded electrical appliances such as old television sets, computers, radios, mobile phones, fluorescent tubes, medical instruments, toys and lead acid batteries all fall into the category of e-wastes. E-wastes are either buried in landfills or incinerated. Recycling under skilled supervision is the only solution for the treatment of e-wastes.
