This article I got from ArsTechnica. India seems to be having a growing problem of computer waste from their IT boom.
Obligatory comments:
Thirty million computers are thrown out every year in the US alone, and many are dumped in India and China.
…
In Europe, manufacturers will have to eliminate such harmful substances inside the machines by 2006.
Persoanlly I think computer waste is going to become a big problem in the future. Until more people work on figuring out how to recycle these things in a nice manner…
