Where e-waste comes from in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal generates e-waste from the ports of Durban and Richards Bay, the logistics parks along the N3 corridor and a large manufacturing base in Pinetown and the South Durban basin. Warehouse scanners, tracking units, control systems and office IT are replaced regularly. Pietermaritzburg adds provincial government departments, while universities, public hospitals and a large population of households contribute computers, phones and appliances. Freight firms, factories and schools are typical clients for collections.
