60 Minutes recently investigated the black market for e-waste, and how some companies are not practicing what they advertise by not solely dismantling and recycling e-waste in the United States. Instead, it appears that some companies are knowingly selling e-waste on the black market. Certainly, this illegal activity is frustrating for the consumers who want to be good citizens by recycling their electronics, and the companies that are legitimately practicing what they advertise. I watched the 60 minutes special tonight on e-waste, and I highly recommend it.
