As part of the ‘Swachh Amrit Mahotsav’, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation recently set up an e-waste collection center on its premises with the goals of ensuring responsible e-waste disposal and raising awareness among the public.
The e-waste collection center has been set up in association with ‘Karo Sambhav’, an organization working on e-waste management.The Municipal Corporation Chief said that most people dump the e-waste generated in their houses/offices in the usual garbage which severely pollutes the environment.The NGO would inform the MC about the quantity of waste created at the center and would appropriately dispose of the e-waste.The center has been set up with the aim of segregating e-waste from domestic biodegradable waste and disposing of it through authorized recyclers.The Municipal Corporation itself generates a large amount of e-waste such as old desktops, keyboards, mouses, laptops and mobile phones, etc. which would now be disposed of safely through the e-waste center.
