“This programme consists of placing collection boxes at points of scale where consumers can return their used devices for proper disposal.”

The release said Piranha International will collect and recycled the used units.

The release said this was the first recycling programme of its kind in TT. It said the programme reaffirms the company’s commitment to creating a smoke-free environment.
