(VOVworld)- Vietnam Recycles (VR) has launched a door-to-door campaign to collect electronic waste in several districts in HCM City and wards in Hanoi, starting October 8 through December 2016. 

Representatives from these districts and wards, along with volunteers and VR members, will go door to door, visiting all households, to collect recyclable electrical and electronic devices and raise awareness on the importance of recycling. Vietnam Recycles spokesperson Miriam Lassernig said this campaign aims to promote our collection programme, since the number of people who bring electronic waste to the designated collecting locations has been quite low. VR aims to collect and recycle obsolete or out-of-use electronic products for free and ensure that recycling is done in a safe and environment-friendly manner. The programme is expected to reach 32,000 households.
