With over 80% of recycled electronics and computers ending up as high-tech e-waste in developing countries such as China, India, and Africa, we need to step up as responsible citizens of the world and choose computer and electronics recycling companies very carefully.

Today is the heyday of MP3’s , we have moved far beyond a small collection of a ripped song or two grabbed from the internet to an age where most of us have hundreds or even thousands of MP3’s saved in our PCs. In a matter of a few short years we have gone from popping a few music files into a folder in our documents to needing a well cataloged and easily searchable MP3 music library.
