epa06978724 Men from Ghana burn electronic waste to reveal their metals whilst women sell water at the Agbogbloshi electronic waste site in Accra, Ghana, 27 August 2018 (issued 28 August 2018). Lying in the centre of Accra, Agbogbloshie slum is one of the most polluted in the world and hosts one of the largest electronic waste dumps in Africa. Hundreds of informal workers scrape a living daily by dismantling, recovering, weighing and reselling parts and metals extracted from scrapped devices and electronic waste. Heavy and precious metals are extracted by burning cables to reveal these metals which are re-used in second hand and informal markets. Middlemen trade refurbished, repaired or recycled items often with international scrap firms. Ghanaian recovered copper, mixed scraps and other metals are sold to Europe, China, India and the Middle East recycling firms.
