The Importance of E-Waste Recycling
E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams, and Pretoria is no exception. Old electronics often contain hazardous components that don’t belong in general waste—batteries, heavy metals, and circuit boards can pollute soil and water when dumped incorrectly.
By recycling your e-waste in Pretoria, you help reduce landfill pressure, prevent illegal dumping, and keep valuable materials in circulation. Responsible recycling supports a cleaner city and a safer environment for local communities.
