Recycling Old Mobiles/Computers: Inputs Sought

In the circle poll on what do you do with old mobile phones/laptops, 29% of you have said that you keep them forever, 6% of you throw them in garbage while 26% of you sell to scrap buyer. Only 38% of you are reselling them.

e-Waste is hazardous if not disposed properly. We would like to seek your inputs on how old devices can be effectively reused or recycled such that they can be used by the needy (if functional) or disposed effectively.

We look forward to your inputs!

Keep away these things from children as far as possible. more

It may be made mandatory that all manufacturers to give information to their customers by SMS or mail regarding negative effects and ways to deposit for proper disposal of e waste. Their service centers can be collection points. May be service centers are collecting but publicity is not suffeciant. more  
Municipal Corporation and NGOs should take the lead to check every commercial, education, training and computer institution and BAN the e-wastes for use. Such e-wastes should be collected from respective manufacturers for remodelling. more
