Visakhapatnam to get e-waste disposal bins

The Greater Municipal Corporation of Visakhapatnam (GVMC) has arranged for e-wasted disposal bins to be placed all round the city. Green Waves Recyclers Association, a city based organisation, has teamed up with GVMC.

The e-waste bins will be placed at 50 places around Visakhapatnam, in places where e-wastes are generated more. The e-wastes dumped in the bins will be sent to the Green Waves Recyclers Association in Gajuwaka and be recycled.

Improper disposal of e-waste is harmful to human health due to it’s effect on the environment. Recycling e-waste leads to conservation of earth’s natural resources.
