Where e-waste comes from in Pinetown

Pinetown, with neighbouring New Germany and Westmead, is one of KwaZulu-Natal's largest industrial nodes. Textile, plastics, packaging, food and engineering factories replace production controllers, motors, computers and printers, while transport companies along the N3 retire tracking units and handheld devices. Offices, schools and clinics in Pinetown, Hillcrest and Kloof add desktop computers and laptops, and residential areas produce household appliances and batteries. Factories and freight companies make up most collection requests.
