Old Electronics
A metric ton of electronic waste contains 8 to 16

other metals like lead and copper are common in electronic waste.The cathode ray tubes in older televisions and computer monitors contain lead, barium,
and strontium. Lead is recovered by private and government recycling
units due to the possibility of air contamination when waste is
incinerated.Copper is found along the tracks of printed circuit
boards, while gold is popular in connectors due to its conductive
properties. Thieves destroy
air conditioners worth several thousand dollars to retrieve a few
dollars worth of copper, so digging through electronic waste is a
worthwhile
