Surma River, Sylhet, Bangladesh
Rivers are the lifeline of Bangladesh. The lifeline is not in good condition at all at present. Pollution, land grabbing and artificially stopping the natural flow of the streams are suffocating the rivers. Rivers are still flowing. The water has become blackish because of pollution. Fishermen find dumped cell phones in their nets in stead of fishes, although millions of people’s livelihood depends on rivers. We still have time to save the rivers. If rivers are safe, we are safe. Our earth will be saved. We have “Only One Earth”. Let not speak now, it’s time to stop pollution, gabbing and ensure natural flow of rivers.

Sony hosted a Recycling Event at Qualcomm Staduim in San Diego. Close to 800,000 pounds of electronics were dropped off for recycling, which required 29 semi-trailers to haul it away.
'Mount Recyclemore' - by Stockport train station 28-7-21
"The sculpture, called Mount Recyclemore, uses thousands of elements of electronic waste (e-waste) — from old cameras, mobile phones, and computers — to recreate the leaders of G7 countries. Originally constructed and displayed for the G7 conference in Cornwall — where the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, and USA discussed major policy issues — the sculpture has been brought ‘home’ by MusicMagpie, its commissioner." -- Source: Manchester Evening News - www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-n...

Can't you just see the tears on his big flat square face?
I'm lucky I never bought an iMac when they had cute necks like this model. I never would have had the heart to toss it to the curb. It'd be in the back of my closet forever.
Although... this person really should have brought it in for recycling. I hope for their sake they scrubbed the hard drive. :/

Shot for Macro Mondays "Frustrations"
What I find frustrating is the continued dumping of electronic goods into our landfills. Electronic devices are filled full of lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals. Fortunately in Alberta we have a province run recycling program for monitors computers and printers. Yet there are thousands of other devices with chips in them as well. These don't get recycled.
Even more frustrating are the "Recycling companies" that end up shipping the majority of the e-waste to developing nations where they cause even more damage than they would in our landifills. Very sad stuff if you've ever seen the documentaries.
Such a wasteful society we have. Don't feel too bad though, I'm just as guilty of producing my share of pollution. The cost of modern living I suppose.

Gigantic TVs and some not-so-big all shrink wrapped for their trip somewhere to be torn apart and their valuable components salvaged. Yes, it's a wasteful system we live in. Places like this help mitigate some of the negatives. It's the least we can do. Support your local recycling efforts!
(This location accepts anything electronic where they salvage the valuable, re-usable, and dangerous components.)
Kevin took me with him to a Ewaste drop off to give over a broken laptop because he wanted me to see the mini museum of all the old electronics there.

Guiyu is one of the biggest e-waste centers of the world. More than a million ton of e-waste is dismantled in this Chinese village every year. Women, children and man work under terrible conditions to extract all the precious metals from circuit boards, computers, ic's and other electronics.
They often burn the plastics, circuit boards and ic's in open air without protection in order to extract the melted copper or tin. Despite the ratification of the Basel-agreement, a lot of international branded gadgets end up illegally in Guiyu.
This man assembles plastic waste form waste-dumps to try to resell it.
An abandoned Kmart in the Miller area of Gary, IN. Later it obviously became a recycling center for e-waste. However, this looks short lived - the place looks more like an illegal dump site.
There are piles and piles of printer and computer cases (inside and out), pallets of spent toner cartridges, plus boxes price scanners, AED devices, keyboards - you name it.
