Battery Recycling for Northern Cape businesses and homes

Workshops, fleet operators, businesses and households in Northern Cape build up used car, UPS and household batteries throughout the year.

Where e-waste comes from in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape is the largest province by area, with iron ore, manganese and diamond mines around Kathu, Kuruman and Kimberley that retire control equipment, radios and IT. Many of South Africa's solar and wind farms have been built here, producing damaged panels, inverters and batteries. Kimberley hosts provincial government departments and a university, and the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope site lies near Carnarvon. Long distances mean collections are usually planned in bulk.

  • Mining: mines dispose of vehicle, lamp and standby power batteries

  • Government: municipalities and departments clear UPS and vehicle batteries from depots
  • Agriculture: farms dispose of tractor, bakkie and electric fence batteries
  • Education: schools run battery collection drives for learners and staff

Why request a battery recycling quote in Northern Cape?

Handing old electronics to the first person with a bakkie can cost your organisation far more than a proper quote. By requesting one for Northern Cape, you can check licences, certificates and downstream processing, compare collection terms and build a relationship with a recycler you trust.

What to include in your quote request

  • The types of battery: car, truck, UPS, forklift, household or mixed

Frequently asked questions

How much does battery recycling cost in Northern Cape?

Items with resale or scrap value can lower the cost or earn you money, while hazardous items such as CRT screens and damaged batteries usually carry a handling fee. Submit the form and a recycler serving Northern Cape will send you a quote.
How quickly can e-waste be collected in Northern Cape?
Collections can often be booked within a few working days in the main centres of Northern Cape. Large clear-outs, on-site data destruction or remote sites need more planning, so mention your deadline in the request.
Will I get a certificate for battery recycling?
Reputable recyclers issue a certificate of recycling or safe disposal, and a certificate of data destruction when storage media are involved. Ask for these in your request so they are included in your quote for Northern Cape.
