What is “E-Waste”?
As per the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016, 'E-waste' means electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair processes.
Electronics such as mobile phones, TVs, laptops, printers, fax machines or even their parts, which have reached the end of their useful life are called “E-Waste”. If not recycled in an environmentally sound way, e-waste poses a range of environmental risks.
Where and how can you learn more about your E-Waste?
For any queries related to e-waste management, please reach out to Karo Sambhav at

Collection Channels of Karo Sambhav
The PRO is setting up channels for collection of e-waste across India. The collected e-waste is channelized by the PRO through its Logistics Service Providers (LSPs) to authorized recyclers.
Karo Sambhav’s overall collection scheme focuses on the below programmes:
Bulk Consumer Programme
The objective of the Bulk Consumer Programme is to provide a responsible E-waste management solution to bulk consumers in India. The Programme serves the E-waste management needs of offices, government institutions, schools, universities, hospitals, hotels, retailers, banks or any other organizations.
If you are a bulk consumer, please reach out to our Karo Sambhav at engage@krosambhav.com for responsible management of your e-waste or call Karo Sambhav’s toll-free number 18002121434.
Waste Collector Programme
The waste collector programme focuses on formalizing the waste pickers and aggregators. By being a part of the programme, waste pickers and waste aggregators become a collection channel of the PRO and bring transparency to their processes.
Residential Welfare Associations (RWAs)/Community Awareness Programme
The objective of the Residential Welfare Associations (RWAs)/Community Awareness Programme is to establish collection channels and provide a responsible E-waste management solution to the individual consumers in urban areas of India.
The Programme serves the E-waste management needs of residents of Apartment Complexes and Residential Welfare Associations, wherein collection drives are held, and consumers are educated on issues related to e-waste.
Collection Network
Karo Sambhav is setting-up collection centres across India to enable the collection, storage and movement of the e-waste from across the country.
These collection centres enable collection from formalized Waste Collectors and Aggregators, Bulk Consumers, RWAs and multiple other collection channels created by Karo Sambhav.
In addition to the Collection Centres, and in order to increase the State coverage, the PRO has set up collection points across the country. Individual consumers can dispose-off their E-waste at no charge for recycling their products.
