Where e-waste comes from in Midrand

Midrand, halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, is one of the country's main data centre and telecoms hubs, with large facilities in the area and the head offices of major network operators nearby. Server racks, switches, UPS batteries and cooling controllers are retired as equipment is upgraded. Distribution centres, pharmaceutical and automotive companies add more volume, and the growing estates of Kyalami and Waterfall produce household electronics. Operators and IT teams often need secure, documented decommissioning.
