Request for Collection

The first stage in the recycling process for e-waste is the collection of electronic products through recycling bins, collection locations, take-back programs, or on-demand collection services. The mixed e-waste is then taken to specialized electronics recyclers.

Refurbishment & eWaste Management

In Kenya e–waste is currently categorized as hazardous waste under Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) cap 387 and the E-waste regulations prohibits the handling, transportation and disposal of waste without valid licenses issued by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Electronic products may be rendered useless in public or private organizations due to various reasons. Among the reasons may be that they have become obsolete or some of their parts have stopped working. Most of the public and private organizations do not have the right way to dispose off the electronic waste and they are not also aware of ways in which this e-waste can be recycled, therefore leaving this e-waste to lay in their stores.

Awareness to the County

The public sector suffers a major setback when it comes to disposal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) as the Public Procurement and Disposal Act which governs disposal of goods and services in public institutions does not consider the end-of-life effects of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) procured. Public institutions have to bond and invite competitive tenders for disposal of computers and other Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) as scrap in line with procurement procedures. This bureaucratic process is slow and usually results in a huge stock of obsolete computers and other Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) being held in public institutions.

A part from the e-waste generated in Kenya another challenge is the significant amount of second hand equipment in the market with short remaining life span, dumping of e-waste by developed nations, inadequate regulatory and policy structures to safeguard health, environment and social consequences of e-waste and limited capacity of government agencies and facilities to deal with e-waste.While e-waste can be a source of livelihood for the urban and the rural poor, it often causes severe risks to humans and the local environment.

The Ministry of Information, Communications and The Digital Economy, through the ICT Authority is developing centers across the country to ensure collection of the e-waste in large amounts and proper disposal and refurbishment in government and private institutions country wide.
