City to collect unwanted e-waste at recycling drop-off stations

Cleansing and Solid Waste (CSW), in partnership with Psixteen, will be collecting e-waste in various areas in Durban this week.

IF you have old or unwanted electronic items at home and want to send them to be recycled, go down to the eThekwini Municipality’s e-waste stations that will be stationed around the City this week.

The recycling of e-waste serves many useful purposes, including protecting human and environmental health by keeping electronic devices out of landfills. It also enables the recovery of parts within the devices that still have value and provides manufacturers with recycled metals, allowing electronic manufacturers to use the parts to make new products.
