Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams. It is anticipated that by 2030, 82 million tonnes of e-waste will have been generated. The e-waste issue is its toxicity, expansion rate, present amounts, and a lack of understanding about its detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Population increase, demand for electrical and electronic devices or equipment, and the developing information and communication industry all contribute to the acceleration of e-waste. In this qualitative case study, data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative content analysis. Content analysis can be used qualitatively and quantitatively. The study was inspired by the worrisome rate at which e-waste is expanding, and its impact on the environment and human health. The findings show that most participants were found to have limited awareness and understanding of GIT terminology. The finding is supported by the literature to suggest that most people have limited knowledge about GIT. Manufacturers of green products and people were identified as beneficiaries of GIT. On the other hand, air quality, energy (electricity) savings, minimal negative impact on the environment, and climate change were identified as ways in which GIT can benefit us. The study seeks to determine the level of awareness about green information technology in mitigating the problem of electronic waste (e-waste) in higher education institutions (HEIs). The study recommends that GIT should be taught at higher education institutions.
