BOSTON, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of millions of pounds of household consumer electronics are discarded each year, which makes e-waste the fastest growing part of the U.S. garbage stream. E-waste accumulates with someone choosing to throw away their one-pound cell phone or eight-pound laptop.
