The RoHS restricts the use of six hazardous substances lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ether in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment.

Putting an environmentally responsible end to televisions and computers is tougher - but proponents of an in-the- works act have their sights on making recycling electronics much easier. The Oregon Electronic Product Stewardship Act of 2007 would create a statewide system for recycling electronic product waste - or e-waste - such as televisions, laptops, desktop computers, monitors, and desktop scanners and printers.
While estimates vary, the rate of technological advancement or "the upgrade cycle" ranges from two to three years, which means that a new computer purchased today will reach the end of its useful life and require disposal in that time span.6 Available data indicates that the vast majority of retired computers, monitors, printers, and television sets has yet to be discarded or recycled and instead remains "stockpiled" in the closets, attics, and basements of the American public.7 This portends a "tip of the iceberg" scenario for the problem of e-waste disposal across the nation.
