technology behind e-waste recycling?

Friends we are going through a critical situation the economy as well as the industries are booming so theres a need for e-products(precisely computers,printers,etc) but it is unfortunate 2 say that when these products become useless we simply dump them which contains many poisonous elements like lead,etc and thus health hazardous. so friends do u have any ideas or technologies or any links to recycle these e-products so that we can make our earth hazard free.

    For disposal of hazardous waste, many cities and municipalities have hazardous waste collection sites or special days set aside for collection of such items. Check with your city or county Solid Waste Dept. or Environmental Quality or Environmental Protection agency for information. If you have a computer that is still functional, consider donating it to a school or nonprofit organization in need. Also, a nonprofit computer recycling organization called Computer Recycling Center may be helpful (see sources). For ideas on how to recycle items from cell phones to used tires, or how to stay ahead of the game and REDUCE consumption of products (for example, use canvas bags instead of plastic or paper; stop junk mail), see the following sources. Did you know, for example, that 4 to 5 trillion plastic bags are manufactured each year, and that the majority of them are NOT recycled? If we reduce consumption (by using canvas bags, for example), we work toward making our earth cleaner and healthier.

    That is why I recycle all of my plastic and can and any thing else, I recycled my broken VCR and my old papper shredder. We should recycle all we can.

    They come by every Thursday here and picks up our thash and then a truck comes by and picks up our recycles in our blue bags. We recycle our cardboard boxes too.

    There are a lot of things to recycle.
