Is e-waste drop-off free for individuals?

Yes. Drop-off is free and no appointment is needed. Bring your old electronics to Shop G15, The Zone @ Rosebank, 177 Oxford Road, during normal trading hours: Monday to Friday 08:30 to 17:30 and Saturday 09:00 to 16:00.

What happens to the data on my old devices?

All storage media is securely wiped, shredded or degaussed before the device is recycled. Nothing leaves the process with readable data on it.

Do you collect e-waste from business premises?

Yes. We offer on-site and off-site bulk collection for businesses retiring IT equipment, including a POPIA-compliant disposal process and environmentally responsible component recycling.

What documentation do businesses receive?

Certified data destruction comes with a compliance certificate and full audit trail documentation, so your disposal is defensible for POPIA accountability purposes.

Which electronics do you accept for recycling?

Laptops, phones and tablets, desktops and monitors, hard drives and SSDs, chargers and cables, and printers and peripherals.

Why can I not just put old electronics in the bin?

Electronic devices contain hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated flame retardants, which leach into soil and water in landfill. They also contain recoverable copper, gold, silver, platinum and rare earth metals. For businesses, POPIA additionally requires that personal data on decommissioned equipment be destroyed securely.

Why It Matters

Why Recycle E-Waste?

South Africa generates over 360,000 tonnes of electronic waste per year, but only a fraction is recycled properly. Electronic devices contain hazardous materials (lead, mercury, cadmium and brominated flame retardants) that leach into soil and water when dumped in landfills. They also contain valuable recoverable materials: copper, gold, silver, platinum, and rare earth metals.

For businesses, proper e-waste disposal isn't optional. POPIA requires that personal data on decommissioned equipment be destroyed securely. Environmental regulations mandate responsible disposal. Non-compliance carries significant legal and reputational risk.

By recycling through Asetos, you're preventing environmental pollution, recovering valuable materials, complying with South African law, and protecting sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.
