The down side is that they've also added a new level of complication. Even putting aside the negative impact on the environment, it's clearly wasteful to simply toss an old TV or computer in the trash. So what is the solution?

Fortunately, several companies have stepped in to fill the void, offering safe and eco-friendly recycling of electronic products or e-waste. Contact one of these facilities when you need to dispose of an outdated tablet or digital camera.
