Why this matters

Most people want to do the right thing. They just don't know how.

E-waste is hazardous

Batteries, chargers and phones contain toxic materials. Thrown in a normal bin, they end up in landfills and water.

Old items have value

Metal, plastic and electronics can be sold. People throw away money because they don't know the rate.

Local collectors are hard to find

Informal recyclers and kabadiwalas do vital work, but nobody knows who is nearby. BinBuddy connects the two.
