While the Delhi government has managed to increase the number of e-waste bins in the city to around 60, an official has admitted that ‘not enough material is being put into the bins.’ 

“The amount of e-waste disposed in these bins is not enough,” an official from the environment department of the Delhi government, who didn’t wish to be named said. He said that the officials from the department were ready to hold workshops and presentations to popularise safe e-waste disposal and also to highlight why there is a need to collect it  separately. 

Another official from the department said that some schools have responded well to this initiative. He said that the government is planning to hold a series of workshops in January 2011 to popularise the need for proper e-waste disposal.
