Where e-waste comes from in Polokwane

Polokwane is the capital and economic hub of Limpopo, home to provincial government departments, the municipality and a university at nearby Mankweng. These institutions, along with regional hospitals and schools, retire desktops, laptops and printers in batches. The city also serves mines in the platinum belt and along the Dilokong corridor, which replace radios, control equipment and batteries. Retail centres and farms add more. Departments, mining contractors and schools are typical clients for collections.
