The 2009 Update of the Tipping Point report estimates that there are 234 million items of e-waste in or on their way to landfill. The Report shows that a recycling scheme for televisions and computers would create 2,570 jobs nationally by the year 2015. This could be increased to 6,190 new jobs if all electronic waste items were included.
