E-Waste Drive - November, 2019

ROKA conducted its very first drive in November 2019 in association with the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC). The GCC, under the aegis of the then Commissioner Mr.G.Prakash, IAS, and Regional Deputy Commissioner, Dr.Alby John Varghese, IAS, was conducting an e-waste drive throughout Zone 13. The aim was to encourage the public / residents to implement source segregation and prevent hazardous waste, specifically e-waste, from reach the landfills of the city. 

ROKA was glad to organise an e-waste collection drive culminating on November 24, 2019. Going a step further, ROKA also collected clothes in good condition. Both the items were subsequently handed over to the GCC. ROKA collected approximately 750 kgs of e-waste in this drive, the largest by an Residents Welfare Association.
