Abstract
“Electronic-waste” or “E-waste” is a popular name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life or just dumped due to the availability of new and advanced products in the market. E-waste consists of a concoction of metals and toxins. The environmental impacts caused by computer from the mining stage to its disposal as e-waste is dealt with in this paper. Scientific methods of disposal of e-waste should be carried out for reducing the environmental damage. Planting trees can help the earth recover from its damages.
