Electronic waste, also known as e-waste, is categorized as household hazardous waste, which means when these wastes are being thrown at the wrong places, it can cause a problem. E-wastes, such as phones and tablets, have lithium batteries in them and lithium is one of the major concerns at landfills because with it being toxic, it has a potential of causing fire when it is leached into the waste mass. Therefore, it is important for us to know how to properly recycle our e-waste to help prevent such hazards at landfills.
