Sadly, most people don't care. They'll buy a $200 Chromebook on Black Friday, use it a year, then toss it. Donating is an option, but can be a pain for some people. Giving it to your child or a family member is another option, but oftentimes their old and the battery sucks, so it's not worth it.

One of the worst offenders of e-waste I see these days are DISPOSABLE e-cigs.. they last a few weeks or so then you throw them away, or worse, onto the street (I've counted at least a couple dozen on the ground so far). Imagine millions of those li-on batteries in the trash or on the street.
