Abstract: The rapid growth of technology and the rise in electronic device use have led to an increase in electronic waste (e-waste) worldwide. Improper disposal of e-waste can cause serious environmental and health risks due to hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium. Many people do not know how to dispose of e-waste correctly and often struggle to find authorized collection centers. To tackle this problem, this research suggests an E-Waste Management Portal, a web-based platform that aims to simplify electronic waste collection and management. The proposed system allows users to create accounts, log in securely, find nearby e-waste collection centers using Google Maps API, and schedule pickup requests for e-waste from their location. Users can also track the status of their pickup requests in real-time. On the administrative side, the portal offers a main dashboard for managing user requests, monitoring pickup activities, and efficiently processing collection requests The system uses HTML for the front-end interface, PHP for server-side processing, and Google Maps API for location services. By providing an easy-to-use solution, the portal promotes responsible e-waste disposal, boosts recycling efforts, and supports environmental sustainability. This proposed solution shows how web technologies can help with effective e-waste management and encourage eco-friendly practices in communities.
