ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

  • The participants will conduct E-waste collection drives at their schools/colleges, residential societies (RWAs) or at the nearby electronic shops/outlets, for a period of one month. The drive students can also conduct the drive at their respective RWAs.
  • The E-waste thus collected has to be measured and the report of the same has to be submitted as a contest entry on the Harit Umang website.
  • The minimum number of students who can participate in the drive is 4 whereas maximum is 10.
  • The collected waste would then be recycled at a recycling facility through the help of Panasonic.

OBJECTIVE

  • To help develop a close understanding of E-waste issues among students not just through theoretical but practical application.
  • To determine the type, nature and estimated volumes of waste generated.
  • Create community engagement (by involvement of RWAs and local vendors)
