e-waste Collection for recycling..
e-CAP is a e-waste Collection and Awareness Program. Started in 2013, the program is an initiative by Tes-amm, IWMA, CII YI and Report Bee. The aim of the program is to collect e-waste from schools and thereby spread awareness about e-waste among the young e-waste contributors of the society. In it's first year the program collected over 500 kgs of e-waste from just 4 schools. This year, the aim of the program is to reach 100 schools in Chennai and collect 12 to 15 tonnes of e-waste. The current trend of selling the e-waste to the waste paper marts/shops is resulting in improper waste management. These informal methods may result with the unusable waste ending up in water bodies which poison the same. The e-waste collected through e-CAP will be completely recycled in a very formal methodology of e-waste management and hence save the environment from pollution of the toxic chemicals from this waste. Students and parents are requested to participate with full support in this programme and help save our water bodies and environment. Following unusable items can be submitted in the school for this programme. Please contact school office or Ms.Vidya from Computer Science Department to participate.
