Waste in the United States recognized the environmental issue that landfills create, and has been creating bans on U.S. landfill. Although this may create more environmental stability in the United States, it has become a major environmental and health issue in the countries to which the electronic waste is being shipped.

Per stirpes children "C" and "D" survive, so the estate is divided at their generation. There were three children, so each surviving child receives one-third. The remainder - "B"s share - is then divided in the same manner among "B"s surviving descendants. The result is the same as under "per stirpes" because "B"s one-third is distributed to "B1" and "B2" (one-sixth to each). Example 2B: The "per capita" and "per stirpes" results would differ if "D" also pre-deceased with one child, "D1" (figure 2). Under "per stirpes", "B1" and "B2" would each receive one-sixth (half of "B"s one-third share), and "D1" would
