E-Waste started getting recognized in India from 2008 under Hazardous Waste Rules. It is obligatory on India to legislate the protocols dealing with e-waste disposal. E- Waste is generated from refrigerators, televisions, printers, mobile phones, computers, music systems, radios, tape recorders, videos, VCD and laboratory equipment. Estimated e-waste generated in India is 8 lakhs MT/year, whereas 20000 MT/year is estimated e-waste from Maharashtra. The Electronic Waste Rule 2011 under Environment Protection Act 1986 came into effect from 1st May 2012. Under this act, collection centres are required to be established under the authorization of state pollution control boards and committees to collect the e-waste. This waste will be sent to registered recyclers and dismantlers for processing. There are 3 authorized recycling/dismantling centres which are operational and 20 recyclers dismantlers are getting established under the authorization of Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB). Most of the e-waste is collected and processed by unauthorized and unrecognized entities following very crude and environmentally hazardous methods. Cadmium is one of the hazardous materials involved in e-waste, which can bio-accumulate in the environment and is extremely toxic to humans in affecting kidneys and bones. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) cabling when burnt or land-filled, these PVCs release dioxins that have harmful effects on human reproductive and immune systems. Mercury (Hg) which is used in lighting devices in flat screen displays, can cause damage to the nervous system, kidneys and brain. There is an urgent need to organize, establish, control and monitor the overall working of e-waste scenario
