Lithium Battery Recycling for Bloemfontein businesses and homes

Many homes and businesses in Bloemfontein installed inverter and backup batteries during load-shedding, and these are now reaching the end of their life alongside old phones, laptops and power tools. A recycler who collects across Free State can package lithium batteries correctly for transport and take them to a processor equipped to handle them.

Want to know more first? Our lithium battery recycling guide explains what is accepted, how it is processed and what the law requires in South Africa.

Where e-waste comes from in Bloemfontein

Bloemfontein is the judicial capital of South Africa and the seat of the Free State government, so courts, departments and the Mangaung municipality retire computers, servers and printers in batches, often requiring secure data destruction. Two universities and several academic and private hospitals add more equipment. Agricultural businesses, grain co-operatives and retail centres replace office IT and electronics, and suburbs and estates produce household e-waste. Institutions and offices request most collections here.
