The electronics waste (e-waste) comprises of discarded electrical and electronic equipment, and poses serious challenges globally for improper disposal practices especially in informal sector.

Hon’ble PM has emphasized the need for creating awareness for environmental issues under “Swach Digital Bharat’ during his address at NASSCOM event on 01.03.2015. On the direction of Hon’ble PM, MeitY has initiated the “Awareness Programme on Environmental Hazards of Electronic Waste through Digital India Initiative” over a period of five years to create awareness among the public about the hazards of e-waste recycling by the informal sector and educate them about alternate methods of disposing their e-waste.

Over 95 per cent of e-waste generated is managed by the informal sector. Integration of the informal sector and access to environmentally safe recycling technologies may reduce the health and environmental hazards. In addition to technology, capacity building, skill management, scientific recycling mechanism, business management training are also required for safe recycling of e-waste.

In this context, MeitY is inviting citizen inputs to provide solution for leakage of E-Waste in the informal sector, and suggest proper recycling technology for E-Waste that is economically available.

The last date of submission of suggestions is 4th April, 2018.

For any further information about E-Waste, please visit the GREENE website.

प्रत्येक ग्राम पंचायत और नगर पालिका मे एक E-WAIST प्रबंधन कार्यालय होना चाहिए जहां पर E-WAIST नागरिकों द्वारा खरीदा जाये ताकि हर व्यक्ति अपने घर से खराब हुये E-WAIST को पंचायत या नगर पालिका मे ले जा कर बेंच दे और उसके बदले उसे कुछ पैसे दे दिये जाएँ। मुझे उम्मेद है ऐसा करने पर घर के बच्चे भी इस कार्य को बड़ी लगन से करेंगे। और स्वच्छ भारत अभियान मे और सहायता होगी। चन्द्रकिशोर गोस्वामी

There are many resources online for selling electronics that still work: craigslist, eBay, Usell, Gazelle, ecoatm, iReTron, and Glyde, to name but a few. Calling your local Goodwill or secondhand shop is another alternative; you may be surprised what they accept. Do you have an old cell phone to donate? Give cellphonesforsoldiers.com a look or sellmycellphones.com. Search your area for a local schools, charities, or organizations that may want your old electronics.

Advantages 1.Students will be engaged to use the technology and they can spend the time in useful time. 2.Those who recycle the mini will.

Did you know that in 2009, discarded electronics such as cell phones, TVs, computers, scanners, fax machines, and keyboards, among others, amounted to 2.37 million tons of electronic waste? Many retailers across the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam have programs where you can drop off or mail in your used mobile phones. By recycling your used phone, you’ll be also protecting the environment and preventing precious resources from reaching your local landfill.
