Boneyard. Electronics
Description
Our lives depend on the power of electricity. Cell phones; computers; televisions; toasters: every one of our electronic devices contains a number of both toxic and reusable materials. Heavy metals and batteries are potentially very damaging to our environment. But what happens to these items after they are broken, worn out, or obsolete? This episode of Boneyard looks at the afterlife of electronics. This innovative look at the ultimate in "reuse, recycle, reduce" reveals some surprising items that are repurposed and reconditioned.
