Agbogbloshie, in the heart of Accra, Ghana, hosts one of the largest electronic waste dumps in Africa.
In this area, the poorest classes of Accra have been spending years dismantling, recovering, weighing and reselling parts and metals extracted from the heaps of electronic waste. The main issue is the burning of electronic cables to extract the copper contained within them, an operation mostly done by children.
