Service & support in Pretoria: local notes
Embassies, departments and law firms deal with confidential paper daily, so an on site <a href="/paper-shredders/">shredding service</a> with locked bins and a certificate is worth asking for. Large departments often look at <a href="/managed-print-services/">managed print</a> to track pages per unit. Copy shops line the streets around the Hatfield campus and the courts, and technicians from Silverton reach most of the city within a normal call-out.
Pretoria: the offices, the volumes and the dealers
As the seat of national government, Pretoria runs on paper in a way few cities do. National departments in the city centre and Arcadia print submissions, tenders and reports, embassies and high commissions in Arcadia, Brooklyn and Waterkloof need secure scanning and shredding, and the High Court on Madiba Street keeps the attorneys around Church Square busy. Hatfield and Muckleneuk add tens of thousands of students and their copy shops, and Rosslyn's motor plants and suppliers run fleets of printers on the factory floor. Big summer storms and lightning come through the Magaliesberg valleys. Copier dealers and technicians sit in Menlyn, Hatfield, Lynnwood, Silverton and Pretoria West.
Typical photocopier recycling requests in the area come from:
- Government and municipalities: municipal e-waste collected with certificates for the asset register
- Law firms, accountants and agents: a law firm's old copier drive removed and destroyed before disposal
- Corporate and head offices: a fleet refresh with every drive wiped and old machines sent for recycling
