The Importance of E-Waste Recycling
Johannesburg generates a high volume of electronic waste from households, offices, and businesses. When old electronics are dumped incorrectly, they can release harmful materials into the environment and contribute to illegal dumping and landfill overload.
Recycling e-waste in Johannesburg keeps hazardous components out of general waste and helps recover valuable materials. It’s a practical way to protect communities, reduce clutter, and support a cleaner, more responsible waste system.
