Abstract: E- waste has typical application in industry and society before dumping. The major areas of application are utilization of E-waste in metal industry, in construction industry and in charity work or donation to individuals or Educational Institutions of the country. Due to the increase in the generation of the E-waste the landfill has become a serious problem as the disposal at random places causes pollution. Therefore the waste management technique has to be adopted to dispose the wastes. The factors such as economic sustainability, technical feasibility and realistic level of social support for the disposal are to be considered for the development of such management system. newline newlineEstimate percentage share of metals extracted from E-waste in comparison with world mine production of metals. Using linear regression equation estimated metals requirement for the future manufacture of Mobile phones, PCs and Laptops. A mobile phone contains about 40 elements including base metals like Copper (Cu) and tin (Sn), special metals such as Cobalt (Co), Indium (In) and Antimony (Sb) and precious metals including Silver (Ag), Gold (Au), and Palladium (Pd). (source: Umicore metals refining, EMPA Materials Science and Technology). As to promote and help deserved poor students in online class, Electronic Goods like Smart Phones, Laptops and Desktops which are presently in working condition but are going to be E-waste within say 3 years may be donated to these students as a Charity Work. According to the students strength the need of Electronic Goods which are going to be E-waste within 3 years are tabulated. The process is repeated every year and the Electronic Goods are collected from the Upper Class Families / Companies or Institutions by NSS volunteers of the Educational Institutions as a Compulsory Social Work. newline newline
