HOW DOES E-WASTE RELATED TO US?

WHY THIS PROJECT?
 
When I had to decide my topic on capstone project, I looked around my room and saw all these broken electronic devices - broken monitor, non-functioning rice cooker, broken cameras, and a whole basket of cables that are no longer needed. I remember The confusion about which items could be recycled and the frustration of not knowing where or how to recycle them. After having a few conversation with friends, it became evident that there was a notable absence of promotion for electronic waste recycling services. This realization fueled my decision to improve public awareness of proper e-waste recycling. 
SURVEY
I have send out a survey on awareness of electronic waste. As of today, there were total of 22 people participated in the survey.
