I-News has spent the past six months investigating what really happens to Colorado’s old electronics. The answer may surprise you. It surprised government regulators. Our investigation uncovered illegal exporting of electronic waste, risky backyard recycling, and what you might call e-waste laundering by government agencies.

Below are a series of short videos to accompany this project in your online presentations. The videos are hosted on YouTube and are easily embedded through that service at sizes up to 1280×720.

Full resolution, HDV versions of each video are available. Please use this request form to contact Joe Mahoney at I-News to obtain a file or with any other request regarding these movies.
