Today, under the @UCC_Official E-Waste Project, we decommissioned an illegal e-waste dumpsite and commissioned community e-waste bins at Usafi Market.
Councillors, LC1 Chairmen, the community and @KCCAUG officials joined the effort for a cleaner city.

We had a great morning at Usafi Park, Usafi Market for the UCC ICT E-Waste Management Drive. The community learned about e-waste dangers, safe disposal & recycling, and how we can keep Kampala clean. Thanks to everyone who joined!

👏Great to see @KCCAUG leadership, Rubaga community & partners joining hands for a cleaner Kampala! We believe waste segregation at source is not just about cleanliness, it’s about health, livelihoods & the creation of a circular economy opportunities♻️.

It’s not simply old tech... ICT e-waste carries toxins that can cripple communities & ecosystems for generations. ⚠️
Proper ICT e-waste handling protects our health, the environment as well as our data. ♻️
A great milestone for us as Ugandans!
As we roll out this initiative, let’s remember, proper segregation of e-waste starts with each of us. Dispose of your old devices responsibly and help protect our environment, our health, and our future.
Today, UCC launched the UCC–ICT E-Waste Collection Project, a new initiative to tackle Uganda’s growing ICT #ewaste challenge by making disposal safe, structured & sustainable. ♻️ #DeclutterEwasteToday
From drop-off bins to community drives, the project will collect old, obsolete, or damaged ICT equipment protecting people, the environment & data security. Together, we’re building Uganda’s first structured e-waste system. #ewastemanagement

When you sort your waste you stand a chance to earn from it and save the environment at the same time.
Kulambiro community, we acknowledge your readiness.
62 billion tonnes for context is the equivalent of 10 BILLION Elephants or over 2 MILLION Workers Houses stacked side by side. Think about that 🤔
Play your part and #DeclutterEwasteToday
The entire ecosystem of responsible end of life management starts with collection. We can’t truly dive into the conversation of recycling without addressing the crucial first step: collection. Collecting materials is the foundation of effective #recycling . ~ Rebecca Mukite, Head Communications & Infrastructure Services @UCC_Official during the UCC–ICT E-Waste Collection Project launch.

Counterfeit ICT devices are making the E-waste crisis worse. Their short lifespans mean more trash, and that puts extra pressure on our already stretched recycling systems. The good news: UCC now has the capacity to detect counterfeit phones, helping us tackle this problem head-on, said Hon. Nyombi Thembo @UCC_ED during the launch of UCC–ICT E-Waste Collection Project. #DeclutterEwasteToday

Counterfeit phones? 🤔 ...
Uhhmm uhmmmm, NEDDA ❌❌
1. They over heat
2. They die 😡 fast
3. They steal your data 🙄
Plus they trash the environment 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Banauganda, let's avoid counterfeits👏
