Bangalore
Bangalore, the undoubted center of the IT industry in India, was the first city in India to have sent a WEEE wake-up call. Two workshops aptly titled 'WEEE Care!' hosted by the Goethe Institute in collaboration with the KSPCB and the Indo-German-Swiss eWaste Initiative brought the issue to the fore and forced all stakeholders to collaborate to find solutions to a looming problem.
Subsequently the E-Waste Agency (EWA) was founded in 2005, a think tank to devise strategies for an improved e-waste management in Bangalore. At the same time formal as well as informal e-waste recyclers were supported with training to gain an authorized status, thus be allowed to recycle e-waste.
Presently large consumers and producers such as IT companies have started to work on a code of conduct regarding e-waste management, which will be used to operate a Clean eWaste Channel in the Electronics City.

Mumbai
Mumbai, the financial nerve-centre of India, is also India's largest port city. The Mumbai -Pune industrial belt is also one of the manufacturing hubs of the country. As a result, Mumbai is not only the port of import for new and used electronics, it is also home to a large user and manufacturer base, both generating large volumes of e-waste.
