Abstract

Management of electronic garbage (e-waste) is presently a major problem, particularly in emerging economies where poor waste disposal results in financial loss as well as detrimental effects on the environment and public health. Improper handling and processing practices of e-waste are related with numerous environmental and healthiness issues. The purpose of this study is to elaborate the different programmes that can bring awareness to the people for household e-waste, environmental related issues, inappropriate disposal, and eagerness to contribute to e-waste management. The study revealed useful e-waste programme and recommendation run by government for educational interaction and increasing public awareness of e-waste. A practical strategy to managing e-waste is also presented in the article. This chapter can assist legislators and government organizations of India and other developing countries to decide awareness programme and citizen responsibility for e-waste management.
