Shimla. In a significant step towards promoting environmental sustainability, the Rotary Club Shimla organized a Mega E-Waste Collection Drive on 5th December at Directorate of Higher Education, HP.
Around 4700 kgs of e-waste was collected which was stacked since 1994 and was handed over to recycler M/s Karo Sambhav Pvt Ltd, with whom agreement has been signed by Rotary Club Shimla last year.
This initiative is aimed to encourage responsible disposal of electronic waste and raise awareness about the importance of recycling e-waste to protect the environment.
This was done with Official permission & support of Amarjeet Sharma, Director, Higher Education, GoHP.
The collection drive witnessed a wide range of electronic waste, including old computers, laptops, televisions, batteries, and other obsolete electronic devices.
The collected e-waste was handed over to a certified recycling agency for safe and eco-friendly disposal.
Speaking on the occasion, Saurabh Raj Sood, President Rotary Club Shimla said, “Our goal is to reduce the harmful impact of electronic waste on the environment.
Through this drive, we not only collected e-waste but also educated the community on the importance of recycling and sustainable living.”
The success of the drive reflects the community’s growing commitment to environmental preservation and sustainable practices.
The Rotary Club Shimla plans to organize more such initiatives in the future to continue making a positive impact.
