Soon, an e-waste dumping site
Mumbai: The city, which tops the list in generating the highest amount of electronic waste in the country, is all set to have an exclusive site for dumping e-waste.
Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) officials will meet this week to finalise a landfill site exclusively to treat and dump e-waste, MPCB sources said.
As e-waste management doesnt come directly under the purview of the municipal corporations, MPCB and MMRDA have come forward for this pilot project, sources said, adding, a recent study has revealed that the rate at which the commercial capital is throwing away electronic goods is far higher than believed so far.
