Bulgaria’s E-Government Minister Roman Vassilev will open an e-recycling campaign in capital city Sofia on April 27. Throughout the day, electronic waste will be accepted for recycling at Alexander Nevsky Sq.
This is the first in what would, hopefully, become a monthly event, Vassilev said in a letter to the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Bulgaria, published by chamber.
“E-waste, electric and electronic devices that are no longer functional, is a relatively small part of the amount of refuse generated. It is a fact, however, that e-waste contains components that are especially noxious and toxic to the environment and human health,” he said.
