Establish simple directive on where one can take E-Waste, thus proffering an avenue through which the mwananchi can purposely consider segregation of their trash.  Especially because of the adverse effects on the environment and human health due to poor handling of E-Waste

Start cultivating a new Kenyan culture that promotes Re-Duce | Re-Use | Re-Cycle | Re-Purpose such that the mwananchi is already playing their role in support of the E-Waste Draft Bill that is yet to be passed by the Kenyan Government.
