Current Prices for E-Waste and Computer Scrap

Computer scrap typically sells for between R150 and R300 per complete tower, depending on the generation and internal components. Older IT equipment is often heavier and contains higher concentrations of precious metals like gold, silver, and copper.

We provide transparent e-waste and PC board prices for all electronic components. Upon arrival at our yard, devices are weighed, graded, and processed for immediate payment.

Common Types of Electronic Scrap Recycled

When you sell your scrap metal to us, the electronic recycling process involves breaking down complex devices into their base materials. A standard computer contains both ferrous metals (like the steel chassis) and non-ferrous metals (like aluminium heatsinks and copper wiring).

• Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Motherboards, graphics cards, and network cards contain valuable precious metals.
• Processors (CPUs) & Memory (RAM): High-grade electronic scrap featuring gold pins and connectors.
• Hard Drives: Aluminium casings and internal platters, subject to secure data destruction.
• Cables & Wires: Insulated copper wire from power cords, VGA cables, and internal harnesses.
• Telecommunications Equipment: Redundant server racks, switches, and office PBX phone systems.

Secure IT Asset Disposal and Data Destruction

Corporate clients in industrial nodes like and require more than just waste removal; they need guaranteed data security. When companies upgrade their IT infrastructure, old hard drives pose a significant security risk if not handled correctly.

Our e-waste management team provides certified secure data and e-waste destruction. We physically drill or shred hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs) to ensure sensitive corporate data cannot be recovered. Clients receive a certificate of destruction for compliance with the POPI Act.

The Environmental Impact of E-Waste Recycling

generates hundreds of thousands of tonnes of electronic waste annually. Dumping broken electronics in municipal landfills creates severe environmental hazards. Laptops, CRT monitors, and mobile phones contain harmful chemical substances, including mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium.

When these devices break down in landfills, toxic heavy metals leach into the 's soil and groundwater. Our eco-friendly recycling process extracts these hazardous materials safely.

By feeding materials back into the circular economy, we reduce the need for destructive mining practices. The copper, aluminium, and gold recovered from your old electronics are melted down and reused to manufacture new technology.

How Our E-Waste Collection Works

We offer streamlined logistics for both household electronic clutter and bulk industrial e-waste. For businesses clearing out server rooms, replacing dozens of office workstations, or looking to sell lithium-ion and gel batteries, we provide scheduled collection services directly from your premises.

Smaller quantities of electrical waste can be dropped directly at our scrap yard. Items are sorted by grade—separating high-value motherboards from lower-value plastic housings—and weighed on our calibrated scales to ensure accurate, immediate payouts via same-day EFT.

Frequently asked questions

What types of electronic waste can I recycle for cash?

You can recycle desktop computers, laptops, servers, mobile phones, network switches, and UPS systems. We purchase the complete units or individual components like motherboards, RAM, CPUs, and copper cabling.

How do you calculate the value of computer scrap?

Computer scrap value is determined by the concentration of precious metals and recyclable materials inside. Older, heavier servers and early-generation desktop computers generally fetch higher prices than modern, lightweight electronics because they contain more gold and heavy copper.

Is my personal data safe when I sell an old computer?

Yes. We strongly recommend formatting your drives before selling, but our yard also performs mandatory, secure physical destruction of all storage media (HDDs and SSDs) to ensure complete data security.

Do you collect bulk e-waste from businesses?

Yes, we provide specialized bulk collection services for corporate IT asset disposal, and surrounding industrial areas. We handle the heavy lifting, transport, and recycling compliance.
