♻️ Successful E-Waste Collection at Jan van Riebeeck Hoërskool! ♻️

Today, the E-Waste Buddies team had the privilege of collecting electronic waste from the learners, staff, and community of Jan van Riebeeck Hoërskool.

Every computer, appliance, cable, and electronic device diverted from landfill helps protect our environment, recover valuable resources, and contribute to a more sustainable circular economy.

A huge thank you to Jan van Riebeeck Hoërskool for partnering with us and demonstrating a commitment to responsible recycling and environmental stewardship. Together, we are making a real difference, one collection at a time.

🌍 Electronic waste doesn't belong in landfill.
🔄 Recycle responsibly.
💚 Create a cleaner future for generations to come.

If your school, business, or organisation would like to host an e-waste collection drive, we'd love to hear from you!

🔌☕👕 Training Tuesday: Kettles & Irons

For the final session in our Training Tuesday series, the team explored two everyday household appliances, the kettle and the iron.

From heating elements and wiring to switches and internal components, we looked at how these items are dismantled and sorted for responsible e-waste recycling ♻️

Over the past few weeks, this series has been all about building practical skills, growing knowledge, and understanding the value hidden inside everyday electronics.

This may be the last Training Tuesday post for now… but we’ve got some exciting news coming soon 👀

Stay tuned!
