EWaste Kochi at 710A Hill Palace Road, Thrippunithura, Kochi is Kerala's most trusted KSPCB-authorized electronics recycling facility. We accept all 21 categories of e-waste for recycling. Drop in anytime Mon–Sat 8AM–8PM. For 10+ items, we pick up free anywhere in Ernakulam. Unlike informal kabadiwalas, our process is certified, legal, and data-safe.

Question 2

What happens to e-waste after it is collected by EWaste Kochi?

Accepted Answer

Our certified recycling process: disassembly into component streams (PCBs, batteries, metals, plastics, screens) → data destruction on all storage media → PCBs sent to authorized precious metal smelters → batteries to authorized Li-ion/lead-acid recyclers → metals to certified smelters → hazardous materials (mercury, lead) to authorized hazardous waste facilities → KSPCB recycling certificate issued. 98.2% of all material is diverted from landfill.

Question 3

Is e-waste recycling free at EWaste Kochi?

Accepted Answer

Walk-in drop-offs are free for all items. Free pickup for 10+ devices anywhere in Ernakulam. For buyback items, you get paid (not charged). The only fee is a ₹100 handling charge for CRT TVs/monitors due to the high cost of processing lead-glass. There are no hidden fees.

Question 4

Can I recycle my old TV, AC or refrigerator through EWaste Kochi?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We accept all large appliances: TVs (LED, LCD, CRT), air conditioners (split, window, VRF), refrigerators (all sizes), washing machines (top and front load), microwave ovens. ACs and refrigerators require special handling for refrigerants — we are equipped and authorized for this. Schedule a pickup for large appliances at no cost.

Question 5

Why is informal kabaliwala e-waste recycling in Kochi dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Informal recyclers in Kochi use methods that are toxic to workers and the environment: open burning of wires (releases carcinogenic dioxins and furans), acid baths for gold recovery (toxic fumes, acid waste), and CRT screen breaking (lead dust contamination). They also have zero data destruction capability — your data goes with the device. EWaste Kochi's certified process eliminates all these risks.
