In a major effort to promote the proper disposal of hazardous small electronics, ITREALMS Media has partnered with the E-waste Producer Responsibility Organization of Nigeria (EPRON) and its member organization, Globetech Remedial Limited, to host a day-long e-waste collection scheme this Thursday.

The drive, organized as part of the annual ITREALMS E-Waste Dialogue 2025, is scheduled for Thursday, November 20, 2025, and is timed to commemorate the International E-Waste Day (IEWD).

The collection scheme will run concurrently with the 2025 ITREALMS E-Waste Dialogue at the Welcome Centre Hotels, International Airport Road, Lagos. The event is anchored on the theme: ?Nigeria: Recycle your e-waste ? it?s critical!?

The collaboration ensures that small, end-of-life electronic devices are gathered and transferred to certified professionals for proper disposition, diverting them from landfills where they pose severe environmental risks. Specific items targeted for collection include mobile phones, chargers, earpieces, pointers, and rechargeable torches.

Disclosing the collaboration, the Group Executive Editor, ITREALMS Media, and Convener of the 2025 ITREALMS E-Waste Dialogue, Ogbuefi Remmy Nweke, urged the public to participate actively.

?We beckon to Nigerians, especially mobile phone users, to leverage this opportunity to dispose of mobile devices they no longer use, often in exchange for a voucher or gift item. This initiative has become time-serving because e-waste awareness has to be continuous; ITREALMS came up with this scheme to ensure people don?t miss the chance for proper disposition before the year ends,? Nweke said.

The theme of the technical session, he said, is ?Stakeholders Role: Recycle your e-waste ? it?s critical!? will be dissected by experts and key participants from industry organizations including the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN), Nigeria LNG, and various regulatory agencies.

The Dialogue Is set to commence at 9:00 AM and run till the close of work hours on Thursday, November 20.
