What’s so bad about cell phone waste anyway?
In addition to the massive amount of landfill space that cell phones could take up, they also contain nasty toxic chemicals such as:
• arsenic (used in some semiconductors)
• brominated compounds ( example: flame retardants)
• lead
These and other cell-phone toxins enter the environment when phones are tossed instead of recycled.
