What's a city to do when it creates 500,000 tons of electronic waste a
year? That's the amount of e-waste projected in New York City for
2010, the year the Big Apple will have a dedicated waste bin - the 4th Bin
-- specifically for all the obsolete or broken electronics... the
computers, DVD players, tape players, TVs, even batteries... all the
stuff New Yorkers and everyone else has been throwing in the trash that
ends up as toxic waste, leeching into the soil and poisoning the
underground water.
