The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) has launched the 'E‑Waste Collection and Recycling Pilot Project' in Cape Town, which marks the eleventh e-waste drop-off and collection point since 2024. In 2024, e-waste collection became part of South Africa’s legislated extended producer responsibility (EPR) to ensure collection and safe recycling of e-waste across the country.
