Scheduled from January 4 to 12, 2025, the drive will focus on collecting discarded electronic items from households across Guwahati for proper recycling and disposal.

Meanwhile, the Earthful Foundation is working closely with GMC to ensure electronic waste such as old phones, laptops, chargers, and other devices are collected directly from residents.

Additionally, dedicated teams are visiting neighborhoods to pick up e-waste, making it convenient for citizens to contribute.

To further support the effort, GMC has set up several Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (RRR) Centres across the city where residents can drop off their unused electronic items.
