The Shimla Municipal Corporation is gearing up to tackle the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) by launching a dedicated collection drive. This initiative aims to address the environmental and aesthetic concerns associated with improper e-waste disposal.
The collection drive will involve door-to-door collection of e-waste from residents, ensuring convenient disposal options. Additionally, the Municipal Corporation plans to establish a dedicated recycling plant to process the collected e-waste responsibly.
Shimla's Mayor, Surinder Chauhan, expressed his optimism about the initiative's potential to improve the city's environmental health and visual appeal. He emphasized the importance of responsible e-waste management and urged residents to actively participate in the collection drive.
By implementing this comprehensive approach, the Shimla Municipal Corporation hopes to encourage responsible e-waste disposal practices and contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable city.
