Publicity: The event was promoted through social media, local newsletters, and community posters. Information was disseminated about the types of electronic items that could be dropped off, and participants were encouraged to erase all personal data from their devices before disposal.

Community Engagement: Around [insert number] residents from the community participated, bringing in a wide variety of e-waste, including laptops, old phones, printers, and household appliances. Participants appreciated the convenience of a local drop-off location and the chance to contribute to the environment.

Collection Process: A team of volunteers managed the collection points, ensuring an organized flow of e-waste drop-offs. They also provided information on the importance of e-waste recycling and the dangers of improper disposal.
The primary objective of the event was to raise awareness about e-waste pollution and offer residents a convenient and environmentally safe way to dispose of old, broken, or unused electronics. By recycling these devices, valuable materials such as metals, plastics, and glass could be recovered and reused, reducing the demand for raw materials.
