Where e-waste comes from in Port Elizabeth

Production lines use computers, controllers, test rigs and robotics that are retired as models change. The Port of Ngqura and Coega zone add logistics electronics, while a large university, hospitals, schools and the metro municipality replace office IT. Households in Walmer and Kariega also produce appliances. Manufacturers request most collections.
