Abstract
Managing waste electrical and electronic equipment is a challenge both for Kosovo and for all developed countries in the world bugs. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (MPEE) , or ' e-waste ', are a growing challenge for governments around the world . It is clear that we must change the way that designed, manufactured, used and managed electronic equipment after their exit from use, if we wish to continue to harvest the benefits that brings technological development, while at the same time not hurt people and the planet. In some states have not yet defined legal instruments, and also continue to see how e-waste going from rich countries, which have the capacity to handle it safely and appropriately. Kosovo so far no special legal regulation which would be included this type of waste, but as part of the process for adoption of EU legislation, the Ministry of Planning should prepare the Law on Waste Management of electrical and electronic equipment. While consumption of computers and electronic equipment is growing slowly in all parts of the world, it is not in balance with the associated increase in infrastructure for safe management of such waste electrical and electronic equipment. There are some problems that are caused by the use of increasingly large electronic devices and which pose a risk to human health, and also represent the ecological disaster. In Kosovo have different types of electrical and electronic waste such in this paper will be presented some data which will show how to manage respectively handle e- waste electrical and electronic equipment such.

Introduction ȿ -waste is a generic term, used to describe electronic equipment old, obsolete or disposed, which contains electrical components. This includes a large part of the waste electrical and electronic equipment, and not just those related to the electrical grid, and working with battery products, gain energy from wind or solar power other
Steps have been taken in terms of policies, such as the European Union's Directive MPEE (WEEE Directive), which regulates the regime of e-waste management, with emphasis on the responsibility of producers to cover management costs after the obsolescence of electronic products
Summary
Electronic devices have special features that manufacture and their use make influential source of ecological and social, and they represent waste problematic and challenging. Shifts of the best phones - Companies often offer customers the best phones, for free or for very cheap price, encouraging frequent replacement of functional mobile phones In this regard, steps have been taken in terms of policies, such as the European Union's Directive MPEE (WEEE Directive), which regulates the regime of e-waste management, with emphasis on the responsibility of producers to cover management costs after the obsolescence of electronic products. In addition to technological development , which renders obsolete equipment , as well as aggressive marketing of electronic companies doing that work equipment, to become obsolete after just one or two years of use This results in rapid cycle’s replacement artificially. Disposal to landfill is one of the most common methods of e- waste disposal, despite the fact that due to the toxic contents of electronic devices, e-waste is very dangerous
