E-Waste Drive

E-Waste Collection Drive, Mumbai

E-waste recycling is crucial for both environmental and health reasons. As technology advances, electronic devices become obsolete, leading to an increasing volume of discarded electronics. Proper recycling of e-waste helps prevent harmful substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium from leaching into the soil and water, which can cause severe environmental damage and health issues. In essence, e-waste recycling supports a more sustainable and healthier planet by minimizing pollution and maximizing resource efficiency.

Our Involvement
We collaborated with a recycling company called “Threco” based in Mumbai, India. Seeing the amount of electronic waste accumulating around our house, we decided to organize an e-waste collection drive in our community. After the drive, Threco collected the E-Waste and educated us on how it was going to be recycled or safely disposed according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines.
