Only 22.3% was documented as formally collected and recycled. There are three small words Reduce, Reuse and recycle are pivotal to managing waste and helping to combat climate change. Reduce means to make smaller/less in amount. Reuse means to use something again, either for its original purpose or repurposed for a different task. Recycle means to convert waste into material that can be used to remake the item, or to make something else. The aim of the study is to analyse the ways and means of E- waste management initiative that helps to reduce the amount of waste that send to landfill and reduce the amount of products being produced unnecessarily.
