Where e-waste comes from in Eastern Cape

In the Eastern Cape, much of the e-waste comes from the automotive plants and component suppliers around Gqeberha and East London, where production lines rely on computers, controllers and test equipment that are replaced on schedule. Provincial government in Bhisho, universities in Makhanda, Gqeberha and East London, and public hospitals retire desktops, laptops and printers in batches. The Coega and East London industrial zones add logistics and factory equipment. Manufacturers, institutions and offices request most collections.
