An Atlanta warehouse is serving as the source for the latest in technological advancements: e-cycling. E-cycling makes everyday products out of toxic electronic trash too poisonous to dump.
Molam International is Georgia's largest electronics recycling depot, "e-cycling" some 1 million pounds of electronics each month.
Outdated monitors will become televisions, metal products are later forged into heavy garbage can wheels, and processed plastics and precious metal are shipped across the globe, where they return as planks of plastic and other products.
The Associated Press reports e-cycling may expand, as the shelf life of newer generation gadgets gets shorter.
The government estimates that 133,000 electronic devices are tossed aside each day, amounting to 3 million tons of "e-junk" per year.
