E-Waste Drive 2024

 The second version of the Atria Youth Initiative eWaste Drive was conducted between the 23rd and 30th of July, 2024. This year, we conducted this drive independently for the benefit of Atria service staff.

Over the week of the drive, we collected 182 KGs for eWaste. We matched 50c to every $1 raised and donated all the proceeds to the Atria Staff Welfare Fund. This money will be used to provide facilities to the 100+ staff working in the community like drinking water and festival gifts.

We anticipated this drive to be smaller than last year since last year was the first time we conducted this drive. However, the donations exceeded our expectations. AYI appreciates every person who helped in this cause, and thanks the RAOWA Executive Committee and JLL staff for their help.

E-Waste Drive

  Atria Youth Initiative conducted an E-Waste drive in collaboration with Civitas Hyderabad from 17th to 24th of September 2023 on the premises of Rajapushpa Atria. This week-long drive coincided with Vinayaka Chavithi celebrations and the response for the drive was tremendous.

We collected about 160 kg of electronic waste like routers, cellphones, DVD players and such. We also collected another 50 kg of majority plastic e-waste like toy cars, massagers etc. With the money we raised, Civitas will help distribute waste segregation bins to a nearby village where they also installed an incinerator.

This drive was possible with support from Atria residents and Management. Also special thanks to JLL who helped move and store e-waste throughout the drive.
