“Every big environmental movement starts with one group of people who are ready to take the first step.“
PickMyWaste partnered with the residents of Purva Fountain Square, Marathahalli, Bengaluru on June 13, 2026, to organize a household e-waste collection drive. The goal was to encourage responsible disposal, raise awareness in the community, and promote long-term recycling.
The initiative was organized to help citizens safely dispose of unused electronics, obsolete gadgets, cables, chargers, appliances and other forms of household e-waste that sometimes just keep lying inside our homes for years. Rather than dumping these things, which end up in landfills or informal recycling streams, the locals opted for a responsible and organized collection approach.
The drive resulted in the collection of approximately 350 kg of e-waste from 300+ participating residents by the end of the drive. This event marks an important milestone in our objective to make domestic e-waste collection simple, accessible and ecologically responsible.
A small step by one society, a meaningful step for the environment.
The campaign to collect residential e-waste highlighted the importance of societies and communities in properly disposing of waste. Proper education, clear communication and easy pickup can move unused electronic devices out of cabinets, drawers and storage rooms and into proper recycling channels.
Most urban homes have unused electronic items stored away for years. These may include old mobile phones, chargers, cables, laptops, keyboards, adapters, batteries, headphones, kitchen appliances and other small electronic devices.
Many people recognize large appliances as e-waste, but smaller items are often ignored. A broken charger, a damaged cable or an underused adapter may seem harmless, but when disposed of with regular rubbish, these objects can contribute to environmental contamination.
It contains materials that can be ethically collected, but it may also contain components that require safe handling.
The event promoted the view that unused electronics should not be considered regular rubbish but precious resources that should be collected, processed and recycled through proper channels.
Convenience is one of the main issues in home e-waste collection. Many individuals want to get rid of old devices properly because they are unaware of the drop-off locations or the process for large appliances.
To tackle this issue, PickMyWaste devised a simple collecting experience within the society’s premises. The collection booth offered a prominent and accessible location for the residents to come by, ask questions, give their e-waste and understand the need for appropriate disposal.
The team also assisted people with advice about what things might be collected, how the procedure worked, and why electronic garbage should not be mixed up with typical household waste.
Residents were encouraged to bring various unused and damaged electronic items, including:
This helped residents understand that e-waste is not limited only to large electronic appliances. Even small items stored in drawers can become part of a responsible recycling process.
A central collection booth at societies is handy for small goods, but bigger appliances need more support. Items such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and televisions are difficult for residents to carry on their own.
So our society drive model includes doorstep collection support wherever required, based on resident requests and society approval. This helps elderly residents, busy families and residents with heavy appliances participate without difficulty.
Doorstep support is especially important because many large electronic items remain unused in homes only because residents do not have a convenient way to move them.
This reduction in difficulty will help recover more e-waste properly and keep it out of the hands of informal or dangerous disposal methods.
The Purva Fountain Square drive was not just a collection activity. It was also a way of getting people involved in the neighborhood.
People asked how to get rid of electronic waste, how much things are worth, the recycling methods, and their environmental impact. The experience raised awareness about ethical disposal and gave people a deeper understanding of how to get rid of old electronics.
These drives also help with positive brand recall. When residents are part of a systematic, open and professional process, they are more likely to support future recycling initiatives and encourage others in the community to join in as well.
The Purva Fountain Square e-waste collection drive had a measurable impact on the community.
Each kilogram of e-waste collected through such drives helps reduce the risk of improper disposal. It also helps resource recovery by enabling valuable materials from electronic waste to flow into responsible recycling systems.
The event demonstrated how one residential society can make a difference in a cleaner urban environment when awareness, convenience and the right collection systems come together.
The Purva Fountain Square drive is a wonderful example of how residential societies can become active partners in environmental responsibility.
E-waste management is not only the responsibility of businesses or government bodies. Households and communities also play a vital role because a large amount of electronic waste is generated inside homes.
By organizing local e-waste collection drives, societies can:
PickMyWaste aims to make this process easier for apartment societies, RWAs, communities and residential associations across Bengaluru and other cities.
The biggest lesson from the Purva Fountain Square event is simple: residents are willing to participate when responsible e-waste disposal is made convenient, transparent and accessible.
Many people want to do the right thing, but they need the right system. A well-organized society drive brings that system directly to their doorstep.
E-waste collection can be a regular sustainability activity for residential communities with proper communication, on ground support and professional handling.
