The e-waste means electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair process (MoEF). Non-functional earphones, headphones, old discarded TV, unused radio, lot of non-operated cable, damaged and broken mobile chargers, useless parts of electronics etc. are completely stored and occupied in every common man’s house. With or without enough knowledge, opportunities and facilities, this type of circumstances is exacerbated. The deposition of e-waste increasing rapidly day by day and so as the household or domestic e-waste nowhere in calculation. The improper disposal of e waste leads to deadly situations to both human health and environment. So, there is need for awareness programmes and facilities to dispose electrical and electronic equipment in a proper manner. If the proper disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) happened at a grass root level i.e., household level, half of the problems of e waste is solved. From the study it was found that all the respondents disposed e-waste with the municipal waste that is solid waste. The knowledge of respondents was appreciable but the awareness yet to be accomplished towards e-waste. The respondents were aware about the effects of risk of hazardous materials on human health and environment that are present in e-waste.
