City collects electronic garbage

Around 1,000 old cell-phones and appliances were collected by joggers along different streets in the city. The garbage if improperly disposed of will emit substances harmful to the environment and people, said Nokia’s customer service director Michael Ang. For each phone collected, Nokia will contribute US$2 for production of rubbish bins in HCMC and Hanoi. The program will be organized at Nokia warranty centers and public places in the two cities.
