WHAT ABOUT THE FAX MACHINE?

Old computers, phones, DVD players, maybe even a fax machine… They take up a lot of space and can’t just be dumped in your black bin. Keep your eyes and ears open for messages from big retailers such as Makro, Woolworths and Pick n Pay, who from time to time run campaigns to collect and recycle e-waste. They advertise drop-off points around the country where you can take your old electronics. Some suppliers also let you take old items back to the shop where you bought it. Check on their websites.
