Where e-waste comes from in Free State

Bloemfontein is the judicial capital and provincial seat of the Free State, so courts, government departments and the municipality are major sources of retired computers, printers and servers. Universities and hospitals in the city add more. Across the province, grain co-operatives, farms and agricultural businesses replace office IT and electronic equipment, while gold mines around Welkom and the Sasolburg industrial area retire control systems, radios and batteries. Institutions, mines and agribusinesses are typical clients for collections.
