What to know locally in Welkom

Copy shops in the CBD handle bulk copying for churches and schools that do not run their own machine.
Who prints what in Welkom
Welkom was laid out as a planned town for the Free State goldfields, with wide streets and traffic circles, and the headgears still stand on the skyline. Fewer shafts operate now, so the town's offices are a mix of the remaining mines and their contractors, the municipality, hospitals, schools, attorneys and the farm businesses around it that grow maize and sunflower. Budgets are often tight, so many offices keep a copier for years, buy refurbished, or get bulk jobs done at a copy shop. The CBD around Stateway holds many of the professional offices. Some dealers are based locally, and others come from Bloemfontein, about 150 km away.
Who asks for photocopier recycling around Welkom, most often first:
- Small businesses and shops: an old copier removed by the dealer when the new one arrives
- Government and municipalities: municipal e-waste collected with certificates for the asset register
