E-Waste Recycling

When your electronic devices are coming to an end of their life-cycle, an issue arises to properly recycle them. For an extremely long period of time, dumping e-waste into landfills has been the usual practice of e-waste management. Decades of wrong electronic waste disposal practices have filled sites with dangerous metals, polluting the surrounding soil and groundwater. AST Recycling follows environmentally friendly e-waste disposal practices, in accordance with eWasa and the Institute of Waste Management of Southern Africa.

We take the burden of e-waste disposal away from you by coming to your organisation, collecting electronic waste and recycling it at our recycling facility in Johannesburg.

Identification

We identify quantity, location and types of equipment (number of items, storage areas, descriptions of equipment).

Collection

Our team arranges collection at an agreed time from a confirmed address in order to minimise delays and ensure a quick turnaround time for service.

Serialisation

We serialise the items at client's site or on our site for reporting purposes according to client's requirements. Done for record keeping and audit purposes so the assets are effectively removed from  asset register.

Why Recycle?

Corporates in South Africa have a responsibility to ensure that they put in to place the appropriate policies and processes for the proper management and disposal of their electronic devices when it reaches the end of life. The National Environmental Management: Waste Act, stipulates that if organisations are found to have not adhered to adequate disposal processes and their devices are found on a landfill and can be traced back to the organisation via the serial number, that organisation could be liable for a R10,000,000.00 fine or up to 10 years in prison, in an attempt to ensure proper disposal of this waste stream. 

For companies in South Africa, the key is to find a compliant partner to deal with to ensure that every effort is made to contribute to the circular economy and ultimately prevent electronic devices from ending up in landfills, in South Africa, as well as the continent of Africa.
