From the page: "Recycling is a good thing, right? Well, not always…. Free market mechanisms mean that, when seeking labour services, they are generally procured with the lowest cost being the priority. While it costs $20 to recycle a computer in the United States, it costs only $2 to do so in a place like India. As a result, much of our e-waste heads to developing countries, where, conversely, a little hard currency is prized over health and environmental concerns."
