Abstract

The use of electronic goods is growing fast because of innovations, low price and easy to use facilities. Due to higher income, standard of living and professional requirement, people are replacing the electronic goods very fast. Mumbai Municipal Corporation is generating high e-waste in Mumbai Metropolitan Region. In Thane district, Thane Municipal Corporation generates high e-waste but Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation generates low e-waste. E-waste generation is depending on population, health and education institutions, shops and malls, industrial units etc. E-waste in Municipal Corporations of Metropolitan Region is positively co-related to population growth. People are using different kinds of electronic products in their routine life. The old electronic products are discarded in bins. The market for replacement of electronic products is not well developed. The recycling facility is not well developed in region. The policy of awareness of e-waste to manufacturers, consumers, business houses will bring good result. Similarly buy back and exchange of electronic goods will reduce e-waste at certain extent in region. Municipal Corporations should provide collection, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal service of e-waste. Municipal Corporations should set the goal of e-waste free city. Such policies will help to reduce e-waste.
