Offices and printing in Johannesburg
Johannesburg prints for every reason at once. In the CBD and Marshalltown, attorneys near the High Court and the magistrate's courts copy affidavits and bundles by the box, while Braamfontein fills with students who need theses bound before hand-in. Parktown's hospitals and clinics scan patient files all day, Rosebank's agencies want colour, and small traders in Fordsburg and Jeppestown run one tired desktop printer until it dies. Highveld summer storms bring lightning from October to March, and the surge when power returns after load-shedding is a common reason a copier board fails. Dealers, toner suppliers and technicians work from Rosebank, Parktown, Selby, Booysens and the light industrial streets of Denver and City Deep.
Typical photocopier recycling requests in the area come from:
- Corporate and head offices: a fleet refresh with every drive wiped and old machines sent for recycling
- Medical practices, clinics and hospitals: a practice copier with patient scans on its drive wiped before collection
- Law firms, accountants and agents: a law firm's old copier drive removed and destroyed before disposal
