Aren't those things all recyclable? Electronics and gadgets are mostly plastics and metals which are recyclable. China uses a lot of E-waste and recycles them into toys. China is the worlds largest suppliers of toys. I think every problem creates an opportunity and E-waste should be looked at as an opportunity to recycle into something profitable.
