Where e-waste comes from in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is South Africa's commercial capital and its largest source of e-waste. Head offices in Sandton, Rosebank and Braamfontein run regular IT refresh cycles, retiring laptops, desktops, servers and phones, and the city has a dense concentration of data centres. Retail chains, private hospitals, universities and schools add volume, while industrial areas such as City Deep and Kya Sand retire factory electronics. Households and estates across the city also need safe disposal of old appliances and batteries.
