Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste) is described as discarded electrical or electronic devices. Electronic waste may be defined as discarded computers, office electronic equipment, entertainment device electronics, mobile phones, television sets, and refrigerators. Urban consumption and waste generation and the negative impacts associated with them in Nigeria vary dramatically from city to city. The poor collection, transportation and disposal of both municipal and industrial wastes in Nigeria pose a greater environmental threat facing the growing society. Electronic waste is generated from three major sources which includes individuals and small businesses; large businesses, institutions, and governments; and, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and it contains hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, beryllium, cadmium, and brominated flame-retardants that pose both human and environmental health threat. Properly disposal or reuse of electronics can help prevent health problems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs, hence effective management and recycling of e-waste should be encouraged to prevent pollutions associated with e-waste.
