Consumption of electronic devices and consumer demand for them continue to rise, opening the door to the production of electronic waste. Before being dumped into an open landfill or dump yard, the hazardous electronic waste (e-waste) needs to be properly handled. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the practical challenges associated with inventorying, handling, and processing the hazardous e-waste. The use of a questionnaire made it easier to identify and control the flow of electronic waste among various levels. A total of 300 responses from the general public addressed the questionnaire, which included a variety of handling-related factors. The majority of respondents were literate, but they were unaware of authorized recycling facilities in their area, e-waste dumping sites, or both. A case study on the authorized dismantling and simultaneous monitoring of the dump yard in the Coimbatore region was carried out to quantify and assess the flow of e-waste among recyclers. A framework for enhancing the existing e-waste policy is also proposed to manage the electronic waste.
