Where e-waste comes from in Kimberley

Kimberley is the capital of the Northern Cape and the historic home of diamond mining. Provincial government departments, Sol Plaatje University and hospitals retire computers and printers in batches, while mines in the region replace control equipment and radios. Kimberley also serves as a supply centre for the province's solar plants, which produce damaged panels, inverters and batteries. Because towns are far apart, mines, departments and solar operators usually arrange bulk collections.
