The Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) in partnership with the Union of IT Companies of the State of Rio de Janeiro (TIRio) is participating in the electronic waste collection campaign. Until July 3, computers, printers, cameras, cell phones and their parts, in perfect condition or not, will be collected to be sent for correct and sustainable disposal. All Assembly buildings already have collection points.
“Our campaign has been running since 2012 and in total 19 tons of electronic waste have been collected. We are happy to be able to expand it to the general public, since until now it was restricted to members. It is very representative to do this in a Legislative House,” said Martha Affonso, executive coordinator of TIRio.
