According to a report by Sandesh, approximately one to one and a half tonnes of e-waste was collected during a campaign held in Patnagar, Gandhinagar, from October 27 to November 5. The programme was organised by the Nisarg Community Science Centre to create public awareness regarding the proper disposal of electronic waste and environmental protection.
The regional office of the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) Gandhinagar and the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation provided cooperation in this campaign. Various social and educational institutions of the city, as well as environment-loving citizens, participated enthusiastically.
Citizens were encouraged to properly dispose of useless devices such as old TVs, mobiles, computers, printers, ACs, speakers, tape recorders, and fax machines. Since the harmful elements of electronic waste can damage human health and the environment, this waste is disposed of safely using scientific methods by a government-approved agency. Additionally, citizens are provided appropriate compensation in exchange for the collected e-waste as per company norms.
