SDG#11- Sustainable Cities and Communities
On the occasion of World Earth Day, Pillai College of Education and Research, Chembur, in collaboration with Jay Foundation, organized a Dry Waste and E-Waste Collection Drive. The purpose of this drive was to address the challenges of waste management, particularly dry and electronic waste and to raise awareness about the importance of proper waste disposal and recycling.
The collection drive commenced on 22nd April and continued till 27th April. Volunteers from both Pillai College of Education and Research and Jay Foundation facilitated the process of collecting waste. Participants were encouraged to bring dry waste such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal items, as well as electronic waste including old gadgets, batteries, and cables. All the collected waste was disposed of and recycled through eco-friendly practices supported by the Jay Foundation.
The response to the collection drive was overwhelming. This initiative not only succeeded in collecting a substantial amount of dry and electronic waste but also in spreading awareness about the importance of waste management practices.
