-UNEP 2009-

Looking for a place to deposit your old electronics? Well Safaricom Kenya began a e-waste management programme last year.

You can now drop off your used electronics at any of the 36 retail centres countrywide.

They will be collected by Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Centre (WEEE) who will then disassemble the gadgets and recycle the parts that can be recycled. The rest of the parts will be shipped away to countries that can dispose them off in environmentally friendly ways.

Now you know 🙂
