Abstract
A method and system for recycling electronic waste is provided. The method includes detecting electronic devices at a location of a user of a mobile device. Identification data identifying each electronic device is retrieved and a status for each device is determined. The electronic devices are analyzed with respect to electronic waste data and values for the electronic devices are determined with respect to recycling options. A score for each electronic device is generated and a comparative analysis is executed for the electronic devices with respect to the values and recycling options. Recommendations associated with the values and recycling options are generated and presented to the user via the mobile hardware device. The user selects a recycling option with respect to the recommendations and a recycling process associated with the recycling option selection is enabled.
