Keeping old electronic waste in the house puts you at risk of life-threatening diseases like cancer. Whether it is old mobiles, laptops or VCRs or CD players, if they are completely out of use, then instead of throwing them in the garbage, give them to the organisations that eliminate e-waste.
In Bhopal and Indore, two big cities of Madhya Pradesh, 10 kg of e-waste (electronic waste) is present in every household. It has been revealed in the survey report of Sarthak NGO that 'Impact Assessment of E-Waste in MP'.
Experts say that in the coming time, this e-waste can be present up to 5 kg in every house from the villages of the state. If the public is not made aware in this matter yet, then it will emerge as a big problem for the environment in the coming time. Not only this, the organisation's e-waste clinic has collected 2800 kg of e-waste only from Bhopal in the last 3 months, it has the highest collection of many old electronic waste.
A scrap bus in Bhopal has been given the shape of an e-waste clinic. Anyone can come here and leave by giving e-waste of their house. And in return they are also given a certificate by the NGO Sarthak Sanstha. Not only this, payment is also given here in exchange for the waste.
Presently Sarthak is actively working in the field of plastic and e-waste with 70000 rag pickers in 6 states.
E-Waste Clinic is located behind Gayatri Mandir in MP Nagar Zone 2 , or for home collection pickup facility - you can contact Rizwan at 9993168222.
