E-Waste Recyclers by Location

We connect businesses and households with e-waste recyclers in all nine provinces of South Africa. Choose your province or city to request a quote from a recycler who collects in your area.

Gauteng

Gauteng is South Africa's economic hub and produces more e-waste than any other province. Johannesburg, Sandton and Midrand host corporate head offices, banks and the country's largest concentration of data centres, while Pretoria is home to national government departments. Universities, hospitals, factories and retail chains add a steady flow of retired computers, servers, phones and appliances, and households replace electronics every year. Collections are needed constantly, from single offices to large IT refreshes.

Western Cape

The Western Cape's e-waste comes mainly from Cape Town, where financial services, technology companies, call centres and retail head offices refresh laptops, desktops and network equipment on regular cycles. Universities in Cape Town and Stellenbosch, provincial hospitals and schools add large volumes of IT equipment. Beyond the metro, wine farms, packhouses and towns along the Garden Route retire computers, cold-chain controllers and solar components. Businesses, schools and estates all request collections and certified data destruction.

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.

Eastern Cape

In the Eastern Cape, much of the e-waste comes from the automotive plants and component suppliers around Gqeberha and East London, where production lines rely on computers, controllers and test equipment that are replaced on schedule. Provincial government in Bhisho, universities in Makhanda, Gqeberha and East London, and public hospitals retire desktops, laptops and printers in batches. The Coega and East London industrial zones add logistics and factory equipment. Manufacturers, institutions and offices request most collections.

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.

Limpopo

Limpopo's e-waste comes largely from platinum, coal and diamond mines around Mokopane, Steelpoort and Lephalale, where control rooms, radios, cap lamps and batteries are replaced regularly. Lephalale is also home to the Medupi and Matimba power stations. Polokwane hosts provincial government departments, a university and regional hospitals that retire computers in batches, and farms in the Tzaneen and Musina areas use electronics in irrigation and packhouses. Long distances mean mines and departments often arrange bulk collections.

Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga generates most of South Africa's coal-fired electricity, and its power stations, collieries and steel plants around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda retire large volumes of control equipment, cabling, batteries and IT. Mbombela is the provincial capital, with government departments, a university and hospitals replacing office computers. In the Lowveld, citrus farms, packhouses and lodges add appliances and electronics. Industrial sites and contractors are the main clients, often needing scheduled collections and certificates of destruction.

North West

North West sits on the world's richest platinum deposits, and the mines and smelters around Rustenburg and Brits are the province's largest source of e-waste, from control systems and radios to lamp batteries and office IT. Mahikeng is the provincial capital, with government departments and municipal offices retiring computers in batches. Potchefstroom adds a large university campus, while maize and cattle farms, retail centres and households across the province contribute phones, appliances and computers.

Northern Cape

The Northern Cape is the largest province by area, with iron ore, manganese and diamond mines around Kathu, Kuruman and Kimberley that retire control equipment, radios and IT. Many of South Africa's solar and wind farms have been built here, producing damaged panels, inverters and batteries. Kimberley hosts provincial government departments and a university, and the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope site lies near Carnarvon. Long distances mean collections are usually planned in bulk.
