Where e-waste comes from in 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.
