There are now over five billion mobile phone users in the world and yet little discussion on the policy level has been made towards what happens to the appliances we purchase and dispose of every year. When people throw their computers, cell phones and home appliances away, their cast-offs often go on a journey across the oceans, to Africa. Agbogbloshie is located in Accra, Ghana, home to the largest informal recycling industry in Africa. Most migrants settle illegally in Agbogbloshie, the country’s largest slum, nicknamed, even in the media, ‘Sodom & Gomorrah.’ What once was an abandoned wetland is now known as one of the world’s biggest e-waste sites. It is home to many settlers from poor, rural parts of Ghana who make a living buying, selling and collecting the precious metals found in discarded electronics. These are predominantly shipped in from the Western world as ‘second hand products’. Many people argue that the dump provides necessary income for people who would otherwise have no means of earning money. They say that, instead of being shut down, Agbogbloshie should become a prototype for responsible recycling.
