On 26th October 2025, something powerful happened at MJR Gulmohar Ave, Bengaluru—and it went far beyond the act of handing over old gadgets. It was a moment where a community chose responsibility over convenience, awareness over indifference, and sustainability over habit. It was the moment SAS Foundation conducted its 25th e-waste collection drive, marking a significant milestone in our mission to build a circular, conscious, and climate-resilient India.
This was also our 3rd e-waste drive in Bengaluru, and the momentum here is unmistakably growing.
Every impactful movement starts with a catalyst.
For MJR Gulmohar Ave, it was Debjani Deb, a resident who decided not to wait for change but to lead it. From rallying fellow residents, coordinating with the AOA, to ensuring smooth execution of the drive, she demonstrated what community leadership in sustainability truly looks like.
Supporting her was Babu from Attero, our trusted recycling partner, who ensured that every piece of e-waste collected would be responsibly recycled—giving valuable materials a second life instead of letting them pollute landfills.
The response from the residents was overwhelming and deeply inspiring. People didn’t just drop off their old devices—they engaged, asked questions, and genuinely wanted to understand how recycling impacts the planet. That awareness is the foundation of any long-term environmental transformation.
During the drive, we collected:
This single drive contributed significantly to Bengaluru’s total, helping us cross 643 Kgs of e-waste recycled from the city alone so far.
And this milestone came with another:
With this drive, SAS Foundation’s total e-waste collected across all drives has now reached ~3927 Kgs—bringing us well past our revised annual target of 3 tonnes.
What began with a few societies has now expanded to six cities—Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Mumbai, and Bengaluru—each adding its own momentum to Mission e-Cycle.
E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world. Yet, the majority of it ends up in landfills or informal recycling units where it harms both the environment and human health. Every responsibly recycled laptop or smartphone prevents hazardous chemicals from entering our soil and water. Every community-driven collection drive pushes India one step closer to a sustainable circular economy.
These drives do more than collect waste—they spark conversations, shift mindsets, and build communities that prioritize environmental stewardship.
At its heart, sustainability is not a project—it’s a movement.
It grows when individuals like Debjani Deb step forward.
It accelerates when communities like MJR Gulmohar Ave participate wholeheartedly.
It sustains when organizations like Attero partner with shared purpose.
It scales when every citizen begins to see themselves as a part of the solution.
This drive is a reminder: change begins where awareness turns into action.
As we expand to more cities, one thing is clear: India’s apartment complexes and societies are becoming the true engines of environmental change.
If you believe your community is ready to take this step, invite us.
SAS Foundation would be honoured to support and organize an e-waste collection drive at your apartment complex, office, or institution.
Together, we can build a culture where responsible recycling is not an exception—but a norm.
Let’s create a future where every home, every society, and every city becomes a champion of sustainability.
Because every device recycled today protects the planet we pass on tomorrow.
