E-Waste

In week 2, Anna the recycling person, came to our school to teach us about E-waste.
We learnt that lead, mercury and cadmium are poisonous. They are usually in PC boards and TV's .  If you send the PC boards and the TV's to the dump they will get crushed and will pollute the earth and the waterways.
So instead of sending E-waste to the dump you can call Eco solutions, and get them to send it to Australia. They will then extract from the PC boards gold, silver, and graphite and this will help the world to be a lot cleaner! Then they will recycle the lead, mercury and the cadmium into new PC boards and TV's.
Lead and mercury are in TVs  are a big problem because people keep on throwing them out and will keep on polluting the earth, and maybe even other planets in the future.
