Hyderabad: E-waste segregation gained focus as GHMC encouraged households to introduce a third bin for safe disposal of electronic waste.
The civic body highlighted that most homes already maintain separate bins for wet and dry waste. It now urges residents to adopt a simple practice by adding a dedicated bin for e-waste.
Officials suggested that households can use any small bag, box or container for this purpose. They advised placing it in a visible location such as near a television unit, study table or kitchen shelf.
E-waste segregation push ahead of GHMC system rollout
Residents can label the container as “E-Waste” and begin collecting discarded items. These include non-functional chargers, batteries and small electronic devices.
The civic body said this habit requires minimal effort and can be maintained easily. Households can empty the bin periodically based on convenience.
Meanwhile, GHMC plans to roll out a structured e-waste collection system. Once operational, residents can locate nearby drop-off points and dispose of e-waste responsibly.
Officials said early adoption of e-waste segregation will help ensure smoother implementation of the system.
Most homes have a wet waste bin and a dry waste bin.
