Question 1

What catalytic converters do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy ceramic, metallic, scrap and used catalytic converters. This includes units removed during repairs or exhaust replacements, as well as damaged or partially cut units. If you are unsure what you have, send us a photo and we will identify it.

Question 2

How do I get a quotation?

Accepted Answer

Send us photos and details on WhatsApp, by email, or through the contact form on this website. Include any codes stamped on the converter shell, or a rough count of your e-waste items. We come back to you with a free, no-obligation quotation.

Question 3

Do you collect catalytic converters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once a quotation is accepted, you can deliver the converter to us or we can arrange collection, depending on your location in Pretoria or the surrounding Gauteng areas and the quantity involved.

Question 4

What e-waste do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Computers, laptops, servers, circuit boards, cables, electronic components and general electronic equipment. We handle single items as well as full office clear-outs and server-room decommissions.

Question 5

How do I contact JBR?

Accepted Answer

Call or WhatsApp 071 401 1120, or email Jbr.Recycling@gmail.com. You can also use the contact form on our contact page and we will get back to you.

Question 6

How is the value of a catalytic converter determined?

Accepted Answer

Value depends on the specific converter: its make and model, the type and weight of the substrate inside it, its condition, and the precious-metal content it holds. International metal prices also change daily. For that reason we assess and quote each converter individually rather than publishing fixed prices.

Question 7

How do you pay?

Accepted Answer

Payment is made by cash or EFT once the material has been verified and accepted. You can choose whichever suits you.

Question 8

Do you buy from businesses as well as individuals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with individuals, motor workshops, panel shops, scrapyards, offices and IT companies, including ongoing collection arrangements.

Question 9

Do you supply recycling bins for businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We place labelled recycling bins at bars, restaurants, offices, schools, retail centres, factories and warehouses in Pretoria and the surrounding Gauteng areas, and collect the separated material on an agreed schedule.

Question 10

How often are recycling bins collected?

Accepted Answer

Collection frequency is set around your volumes. Busy kitchens and bars are often weekly, while smaller offices and schools may be fortnightly or on call. We agree the schedule with you upfront.

Question 11

What can go into the recycling bins?

Accepted Answer

Typically glass bottles and jars, cans and tins, plastic bottles and containers, cardboard and paper, beverage packaging, and electronic waste or cables. We set up the bin mix around what your premises actually produces.
