The key pant in e waste management is collection. People also don't know what° do with the repaired electronics so they simply throw away. In big cities govt should start a warehouse where these unused and repaired products should be collected. For an example Ina laptop M some parts get repaired there is no option of repairing as the part is not available in the market like laptops many. So in this warehouses, govt can provide training with the little damaged products as a skill deveIopment.

E- waste is a purely recycling waste. We can re-used these wastes as for making and building another equipment. We can used it for various purposes such as in making a part of bikes, cycle, and even we will trying to inventing a new invention such as" a boy of our country had made a new rocket only with the E-waste products ". I had heard that some scientists had made a bike from E-wastes of Bill Gates. Such that we can also try to invent equipment by using these wastes .
