About Us
Electronic Cemetery E-Waste Management is an initiative put together to aid in the removal of all your unwanted or broken electronics, free of charge.
We collect all your unwanted or broken electronic waste, refurbish what we are able to, and donate 20-40% (of the working items), to the less fortunate schools or societies; or a charity of your choice or ours. The art department also donates 10% of its profits to charity as well. We then sell the rest to those individuals who are unable to afford brand new items. The rest of the e-waste that is of no use, we dispose of in an environmentally sound manner. In doing so, we are helping those less privileged people have access to technology and appliances, by reducing the gap between the haves and the have not’s. Upon collection we issue a destructive certificate via email, and all serial numbers can be catalogued on a spreadsheet if need be, for asset verification right-offs. We are also EWASA certified.
We have recently sub-divided our business into two sections. Both sections involve the removal and disposal of all your unwanted electronic waste. One section involves the refurbishment of the E-waste, and the second section involves an Art Department. Whereby all the scrap collected from the removals is then recycled into art works, furniture, home and garden products etc. In doing so, this is our attempt at making the Environment even “GREENER”.
As our environment is swiftly moving towards degradation and unnatural ruin, our contribution is therefore never ending. We as citizens of this Earth need to become aware of our own impact, whether small or big; it’s time to make a change. A change can be made with little to no effort at all and in doing so we preserve our Environment for the future generations. United Nations identifies e-waste as an urgent and growing problem. The UN Environment Programme has issued a wide-ranging report warning that e-waste in China and South Africa could double or even quadruple within the next decade, whereas India could experience a five-fold rise. Major hazards exist in the unregulated and informal recycling of circuit boards and techno gadgets as processes like backyard incineration, for the retrieval of gold, generates toxic gases, while also being widely inefficient. The whole point of the report is to encourage some global cooperation in setting up modern and safe recycling facilities in the affected countries to remodel the problem. It is therefore imperative that we tackle such problems in the correct way, with the correct resources.
Vision:
We live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with lush nature and never ending mountaintops. Our vision is to sustain such beauty, by implementing ways in which it can be done, through effort-less procedures. South Africa houses one of the biggest poverty percentages in the world, and our aim is to provide as many people with means to technology and to create equality.
