Heheeee... we need to ask CCK that one! I can tell you for now that I don't think CCK is looking at it from that angle - accumulated e-waste! They are praying that it will all end up somewhere - like the ones already in the country that noone can officially account for.

@ Wash ,'scavenging for boards' thats a good one!got tonnes & tonnes of those already in my workshop waiting for an opportunity ,i don't think Maina regards his machines as waste ,per se coz he seems to attach some value to them whether monitory or sentimental ,Computer for schools is an option , can inbox you thier contacts . On the issue of e waste management , am imagining if CCK make true their threat to turn off the more than 1OMillion 'fake phones' do we have the capacity to deal with kind of e waste ?

Some techies like Branton (in this list) should give you better answers than mine.
Guys who are into electronics will tell you that they can take off the boards for scavenging - getting capacitors, diodes, ICs but they cannot quantify a value for the board, and definately zero for the casings!
If you are lucky to find someone to inherit the e-waste from you, don't hesitate - don't even look for money!
