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.
