FAQ
What is E-Waste?
E-waste includes any discarded electrical or electronic equipment—mobiles, fridges, TVs, cables, chargers, batteries, and more.
Why Not Use a Scrap Dealer?
Informal dealers rarely have safety training or legal registration. They may dispose of hazardous waste unsafely, risking health and the environment.
Do I Get Paid for E-Waste?
For valuable products like computers or copper wiring, you’ll receive transparent, fair market rates. For items that are hazardous or cost more to recycle safely (like old TVs), there may be a nominal charge. All fees or payments will be shared. Write to us!
