Where e-waste comes from in Pretoria

Pretoria (Tshwane) is the administrative capital, so national government departments, embassies and state agencies are major sources of retired computers, servers and printers, often with strict data-security requirements. The city also has several large universities, research councils and academic hospitals that replace equipment in batches. Rosslyn and Silverton add automotive and manufacturing electronics, and suburbs from Hatfield to Mamelodi produce household e-waste. Departments, campuses and offices typically need collections with certified data destruction.
