Abstract
Electrical trash is one of the quickly increasing problems on the earth. Electrical trash includes considerable elements, some including toxic substances, which could have a damaging influence on human health and even on the environment. Quick economic development in Asia and the growing transboundary action of secondary sources would rise, which demand both 3R endeavors i.e., Decrease, Reutilize and Recycle in every nation. In India, Electrical trash control considers more significant according to the electrical trash generation due to the dumping of Electrical trash from developed countries. This study emphasizes India’s recent electrical trash scenario, i.e. importance of the issue, environmental and health dangers, recent removal and recycling process, available legal frame, association operating on the problem, and suggestions for steps with regulatory bodies in India.
