Where e-waste comes from in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg is the provincial capital of KwaZulu-Natal, so the legislature, provincial departments and the municipality are major sources of retired computers, printers and servers. A university campus, many established schools and large hospitals add further volume. Industrial areas such as Mkondeni and Willowton host aluminium, timber and food processors that replace electrical equipment, and dairy and forestry businesses in the Midlands contribute more. Government, schools and manufacturers typically need collections.
