IT Asset Disposal for Durban businesses and homes

Organisations in Durban refresh laptops, desktops and servers on regular cycles, and each refresh leaves equipment that must be disposed of securely. An ITAD provider who collects across KwaZulu-Natal can audit, sanitise and remove the equipment in one visit, and give you the reporting you need for your asset register and POPIA records.

Where e-waste comes from in Durban

Durban runs the busiest container port in sub-Saharan Africa, and shipping lines, freight forwarders and warehouses retire scanners, terminals, radios and office IT in large volumes. Manufacturers in Prospecton, Jacobs and the South Durban basin replace control systems and electrical equipment, while corporate offices and call centres in Umhlanga refresh computers regularly. Universities and hospitals add more, and households and estates across eThekwini produce appliances and phones. Logistics firms are frequent clients for collections.
