On the occasion of Republic Day, the Municipal Corporation of Pimpri-Chinchwad will be implementing an e-waste collection campaign in partnership with various organizations.
Over 150 collection centers will be set up throughout the city to collect electronic waste, such as old computers, televisions, and mobile phones.
