Summary/Abstract: The study summarises the experiences of the research entitled “Impact assessment of the ‘Collect with me’ awareness-raising campaign”, organised in support of the Hungarian selective waste collection reform programme. The research examines the educational experiences of the used mobilephone collection programme launched during the 2024 Carpathian Basin Sustainability Week and a lesson on electronic waste entitled “Value and Danger in My Pocket”. The data are derived from a questionnaire survey (n = 4,125 people). Analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics and relationship analysis. The results show that participants in the lesson agree significantly more with all the statements made about the right actions to take in relation to e-waste than those who did not participate in the lesson.
