If you're planning a trip to KLCC soon, don't forget to bring along your old gadgets — yep, even that ancient smartphone that's been collecting dust in your drawer

To celebrate Earth Day, the KLCC community is joining forces to tackle one of the fastest-growing environmental issues out there: electronic waste.

From now until 22 May, Petrosains, Suria KLCC, PETRONAS Digital, ERTH, Sangkaya, and Inside Scoop are teaming up for an e-waste collection campaign, and they're rewarding you for doing your part.

Got an old laptop or tablet lying around? Drop it off at one of the designated spots around KLCC and enjoy cool rewards in return.

The goal is simple: make recycling e-waste easier, more rewarding, and way less of a chore.

With Malaysia expected to throw out a whopping 24.5 million units of e-waste this year, this campaign is all about raising awareness and getting more people involved in a meaningful (and fun) way.
