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.
