India’s first e-waste clinic will come up in Madhya Pradesh capital.
About:
The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) have joined hands to set up the country’s first e-waste clinic in Bhopal. CPCB will offer technical support.
The clinic is being conceived in compliance with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
This would enable segregation, processing and disposal of waste from both household and commercial units.
Electronic waste will be collected door-to-door or could be deposited directly at the clinic in exchange for a fee. Door-to-door collection will happen in two ways. Either separate carts for the collection of e-waste will be designed, or separate bins will be attached to existing ones meant for solid and wet waste.
A three-month pilot project, the clinic, if successful, would be replicated elsewhere in the country.
