Sustainability does not begin in recycling plants. It begins at home.
What happens when a community decides that old devices should not become tomorrow’s environmental burden?
On 6 July 2026, residents of BPTP Park Floor II Apartments, Sector 76, Faridabad, answered this question with action.
In collaboration with Grandeur Recycling Private Limited, SAS Foundation organized an E-Waste Collection Drive that brought together residents, environmental champions, and sustainability advocates under one common mission—to create awareness, encourage responsible disposal, and move one step closer to a circular economy.
What unfolded was more than a collection drive.
It became a story of participation, creativity, environmental leadership, and collective responsibility.
Small Devices. Big Impact.
Electronic waste is among the fastest-growing waste streams globally. Yet most people underestimate the environmental footprint of unused gadgets lying in drawers, storerooms, and cabinets.
During the drive, residents actively contributed:
- 12 Smartphones
- 3 Feature Phones
- 3 Computer Mouse Devices
- 1 Laptop
- 1 Geyser
- 1 Microwave
- 1 Iron Press
- 1 UPS
- 18 Kilograms of Miscellaneous Electronic Waste including chargers, controllers, heaters, weighing machines, wires, and accessories
Each item represented more than discarded electronics.
It represented conscious action.
Every device collected means fewer hazardous materials entering landfills and more opportunities for responsible recovery of valuable resources.
When Sustainability Meets Art
One of the most memorable moments of the day came through the presence of Udit Narayan Baisla ji.
A contemporary waste artist, Udit ji is known for transforming discarded wires, plastics, and industrial scrap into visually powerful artworks that challenge the way we think about waste.
His work sends a simple but profound message:
Waste is not the end of value. It is the beginning of transformation.
Through his innovative “waste wire art,” environmental concerns become stories. Scrap becomes expression. Discarded material becomes inspiration.
As a gesture of encouragement and shared commitment toward sustainability, Udit ji graciously presented one of his artworks to SAS Foundation.
The artwork serves as more than a gift—it is a reminder that environmental change requires both systems and imagination.
Creating Conversations That Matter
What stood out throughout the drive was not only the quantity of e-waste collected.
It was the curiosity.
Residents engaged in meaningful discussions around:
- What qualifies as e-waste
- Why responsible disposal matters
- How recycling reduces environmental burden
- What happens after collection
- How individuals can contribute to a circular economy
Environmental transformation begins when awareness becomes action.
The active participation and appreciation shown by residents reaffirmed that communities are ready to embrace sustainable habits when meaningful opportunities are created.
The Power of Partnerships
Sustainable change rarely happens in isolation.
This initiative became possible through collaboration and shared commitment.
We extend our sincere gratitude to:
- RWA President and the entire Residents Welfare Association for enabling and supporting the initiative
- Shravan Dabi ji for helping make the collection drive impactful and successful
- Udit Narayan Baisla ji for inspiring participants and gifting his artwork
- Grandeur Recycling Private Limited for partnering in responsible e-waste management
- Ishika and Sandeep for representing Grandeur Recycling Pvt. Ltd. during the drive
- Dr. Nitin Saini and Shravan Dabi for representing SAS Foundation and engaging with the community
When communities, organizations, and individuals work together, environmental impact multiplies.
Beyond Collection: Building a Circular Future
At SAS Foundation, environmental action is not limited to events.
Every collection drive is an opportunity to educate, influence behavior, and inspire long-term change.
This initiative aligns strongly with global sustainability priorities including:
- SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
- SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13 – Climate Action
The transition toward a cleaner future will not be achieved through large policies alone.
It will happen through thousands of local actions.
One apartment.
One conversation.
One device at a time.
