We will be carrying out electronic waste collection campaigns at various points in our city RibeirĂŁo Preto/SP and also in neighboring cities such as Serrana/SP and Cravinhos/SP.

Along with the collection, we will be making people aware that many of the electronic items left at home can be used by other people, even if they need a small repair or are often working perfectly, and anything that is not reusable should go for recycling.
