The shocking photos of waste electronic garbage in Accra, Ghana

Photographer Michael Ciaglo recently shared some photos of Agbogbloshie, a digital dump on the outskirts of Accra, Ghana. This is where a lot of spam is "processed" and destroyed-wires, televisions, computers or mobile phones.

In this dump, all these electronic components are burned and melted. Saves only the metal, which is then resold. This process creates highly toxic fumes that poisoned the employees from the Recycle Bin and the local community.

See pictures of Ciaglo, absolutely shocking, and read here what are the major challenges of collecting electrical and electronic waste.
