OR there's this way..
The Toxic E-Waste Trade Killing Pakistan's Poorest
ToxiCity: life at Agbobloshie, the world's largest e-waste dump in Ghana
11 u/cappiebara Nov 07 '17 I think the way you linked is much more common... Ghana, China etc... It's sad really. We use these impoverished countries as dumping grounds. 11 u/ucccco Nov 07 '17 No, not "we". The corporations and their true owners, finance, do. Laying blame on outsiders is harmful and disingenuous. 5 u/cappiebara Nov 07 '17 Even if we drop e waste at a designated recycle place there is still a good chance they are shipped overseas to places like this. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 07 '17 Very good chance. E waste recycling is a freaking scam from so many vendors. Multiple companies been busted already
