Where e-waste comes from in Middelburg

Middelburg in Mpumalanga is a centre for stainless steel production, ferrochrome smelting and coal mining, with several major power stations nearby. Smelters and plants rely on drives, instrumentation and control equipment that is replaced during shutdowns, and mining contractors add radios and batteries. The municipality, schools and retail centres retire computers and printers, and farms on the surrounding Highveld use electronic equipment too. Industrial plants and contractors make up most collection requests.
