The American public is slowly catching onto the fact that the disposing of not only cell phones but other electronic devices in the trash is detrimental to the environment. They contain many hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Dangerous chemicals like brominated flame retardants (BFR’s) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which are found in many of the plastic casings of cell phones. By throwing cell phones and other electronics in the trash we are not only posing a potential environmental nightmare but we are basically poisoning ourselves when these chemicals leak into our water supplies.
