Although formal facilities for recycling and disposal of e- waste have been being built for environmental protection and resource-save, there is no integrated and effective reverse collection system of domestic e-waste in China which meets the needs to waste supply for facilities. Based on case investigation of Beijing, this paper presents existed collection system spontaneously formed by market effect in the recycling chain of discarded typical e-product in urban China and finds out how to effectively act and flows, and analyzes collection mode of domestic e-waste for facilities in urban China competing with existed collection system.
