E-Waste Collection Drives for Housing Societies.
One day for the whole building or complex. We bring the team, handle the data on phones and laptops, and give the society a recycling certificate. Free in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Pune.
A housing society e-waste drive is a single day when residents bring old electronics to one spot in the complex and an authorised recycler collects everything. PrivAce Technologies plans it with the committee, provides a notice for residents, keeps phones and laptops apart to destroy their data, and gives the society a Certificate of E-Waste Recycling for the total collected.
Five steps for the committee.
- The committee picks a date, a two to three hour window and a spot near the gate.
- Circulate the notice below on the society group and notice board.
- Our team arrives, sets up and accepts items from residents.
- Phones and laptops are kept apart and their data wiped or destroyed later.
- The society receives its Certificate of E-Waste Recycling.
A notice you can copy and send.
