1. Identify What Qualifies as E-Waste

Devices unused for 6+ months are often waste. Includes:

• Laptops, desktops, workstations
• Routers, modems, switches
• Printers, UPS systems
• Batteries, cables, peripherals
• Electronic lab or industrial gear

2. Prioritize Certified Data Destruction

Protect your data using:

3. Work Only with Certified Recyclers

Always choose certified vendors like Greendharati:

4. Schedule Regular E-Waste Collections

Don’t wait for junk to pile up. Plan:

• Monthly/quarterly pickups

• EPR-compliant reporting

5. Go Beyond Compliance – Think Sustainability

• Reduce landfill toxins
• Conserve rare raw materials
• Prevent soil/water pollution
• Lower your business’s carbon output
