Abstract
Growth has exponentially expanded the use of computer devices in the IT and communication industries. Electronics are upgraded at a very high paceand required to discharge obsolete electrical goods very fast, thus adding to the solid waste stream electronic waste (E-waste). The growing topic of E-waste demands increased focus on the recycling of E-waste. It is noted that 75% of electronic objects are projected to be retained because of confusion regarding how they will be handled. The electronic junks are located unattended and usually combined with household waste in households, offices, factories, and other locations that are eventually disposed-of at sites. This needs appropriate intervention steps.As it is noted that E-waste is one of the world's fastest rising waste sources. It contains a wide variety of elements and compounds, all of which are either precious or dangerous or both. E-waste can contaminate the environment by inappropriate recycling and disposal methods that lead to endanger human health. It also constitutes a substantial supply of useful resources which commercially fascinating the recycling perspective of this waste
