2. Hey Smarty!
Where are you going
with that box ?
What’s in it?
I am going to an
E-Waste drive. This
box contains used
electronic goods I
want to donate.

3. What is E-Waste?
And why are you carrying
this heavy box to a drive
when you can dump it in a
garbage bin?
It is waste after all!
E-Waste is old, broken or
discarded electronic appliances
that are towards the end of it’s
life. Remember! We cannot dump
E-Waste in dustbins as it is a lot
more harmful than regular
waste.
The best way to limit it’s
harmful effects is to recycle
E-Waste.

Let us know our E-Waste better….
The 3 R’s Rule For E-Waste
Reduce – First step of the “3 R’s” Rule - reduce
consumption, which in turn minimizes the volume of
what will eventually become waste.
Reuse – Second step of the “3 R’s” Rule - reuse
materials for as long as is practical. Reuse extends
the lifespan of these materials and greatly "Reduces"
consumption of new manufactured goods.
Recycling - Last step of the “3 R’s” Rule comes in
the picture when an item’s reuse in its original
intended purpose is no longer an option.
The goods are processed and transformed
into new electronic goods.
