The normal wiggly Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy set is an improvisation of hesitant fuzzy set. We introduce an unprecedented multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method labeled elimination and choice expressing reality method (ELECTRE). This new method is used to select the best e-waste disposal method. The e-wastes are hazardous wastes and can have the same effects as plastic waste. The environment is greatly affected by the e-waste. Toxic pollutants are commonly used in the manufacture of machinery. They give the soil character and reduce the amount of groundwater. Such damage is caused by overuse of electronic machines and by the failure to properly recycle faulty electronic machines. In this research paper we select the proper e-waste disposal method. In addition, it will enhance soil fertility, human well-being, and develop the country’s economy. Here, we propose a new expansion of the Normal wiggly Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy ELECTRE III method to analyse and find the best versatile e-waste disposal technique. One of the decision-making methods, ELECTRE III ranking result is determined by concordance and discordance value.
