Where e-waste comes from in Centurion

Centurion lies between Pretoria and Johannesburg on the N1 and N14, and its office parks host corporate regional offices, technology firms and data centres. These businesses replace servers, network equipment, UPS batteries and laptops on regular cycles. Warehouses in Samrand and Highveld add scanners and logistics electronics, while schools and shopping centres contribute more. Large residential estates around Irene and Rooihuiskraal generate household e-waste. IT managers and estate managers are typical clients for collections.
