From October 2, four Namma Metro stations will be part of a
mission to ensure toxic e-waste reaches the right destination. Volunteers from
Binbag – a startup being incubated at the Indian Institute of Management
Bangalore’s N.S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning – who specialise
in collection and responsible disposal of e-waste, will ensure that the waste
you get will reach a State-authorised recycler. The logic behind an e-waste
collection drive at metro stations is that those who use the metro bring waste
that needs to be disposed off. These can be dropped in bags held by volunteers,
explained Achitra Borgohain, founder of Binbag.
