Where do your old mobile phones and TVs go to die? | BBC News
Dandora sits on the outskirts of Nairobi, in Kenya, and is home to one of the largest dump sites in East Africa.
Although it was declared full 20 years ago, over 800 tonnes of garbage is still dumped on the site every day.
In recent years, an increasing proportion of this is electronic waste such as old mobile phones, TVs and laptops.
So,…

I don't want to live on this planet anymore 😭
People don't realise thats all are waste the reason it's in there country we hav paid that country to hav are rubbish thats wrong
Sad
And Currys/Amazon/Argos/Jlewis push consumers to continue to buy tech they don't need. They pretend they care about discarded tech, but they are clearly Not enough! They do not make us aware. So unethical
E waste as donations😢😢
So when exactly will AI, that new darling of the tech and media class, solve this horrendous problem?
Dumped in a 3rd world country or the ocean
In my local dump in Hove, E.Sussex they have a skip they throw it into. I tried to liberate a memory chip and they accused me of stealing. A lovely old lady arrived there in her car under the assumption that her old but functional pc would be given on to a charity. When she realised that it’d be hurled into the skip, she decided no, she wanted to give it to me, but the guard told her she couldn’t give it to me in the waste dump. So she reversed out of their gate and then handed it to me. God bless her!
Armaments, universal debt and panned obsolescence. These are the pillars of western prosperity.
Was true then and even more entrenched now.
Could maybe add. Media psyops.
It is all a scam.

This video should be shown to those Nvidia fanatics who buy for example a 3060 and then a slighty better one… yes, these kind of people exist.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Acts 8:37
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Corinthians 15:3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
So many Mobiles in India which exchanged with new one are all taken to traitors. They removed secret memory items from mobile phones and they inserted for their secret use as anyone sold their scrap. Gold is also extracted from remaining. Cycling of Camera is done for cyber crime.

Birmingham council are setting me up with criminals so I don’t have anywhere to live , I have correct login details but keeps saying wrong login details plus allegations are accused of me , I have money , they want and intelligence they want , my moms birthday is my memorable date but won’t login, while cash machine gangs are allowed to watch atms while police watch everyday , for months now , they don’t want me to live in Birmingham, I keep getting followed , I got mugged once of my jewellery
Can you look into this
I think the police in Erdington ( earn a ton of cash ) and Perry Barr ( berry juicy and chocolate bars ) Birmingham are waiting for the next job on cash machines gangs, first fraud and that happened around our country the atm thefts now there’s people watching others at atms , I clearly see so do others , black and white to see, it’s been going on for months , people watching the bank clear to see, and just sit or stand there, they wink and sign language text and call others further down the road someone’s coming, I think this is why Covid to get people to slow down outside banks to log their monies and now lots of rubbish and road blocks by so called dumb drivers or so called collisions etc , bins on footpaths, nuts and bolts in roads of cars with families, plus excessive cars, , now a surge in crime, while I see this plus others but no REAL police on the beat to protect families
CLEAN AIR – YEAH RIGHT

Following the recent fraudulent elections on February 8, 2024, a Lahore-based printing press has started printing new ballot papers ten days after the election to create fake Form 45s that can only be printed by government presses. Another major fraud to cover election rigging was caught by Journalist Rai Saqib KharaL in Lahore. Is the saying "Once a thief always a thief" true for Nawaz Sharif?
All our international friends need to look into the fraud they have been waiting for to confirm the massive rigging of election results.

Why dont they put electronics in separate area??
怪我をしながらでも、電子機器を探して、ごみ置き場で働く方がいらっしゃる。日本にはそういった部品をリサイクルできる技術があるから、
こういったごみ置き場で働く方々を雇い、リサイクルできるものは分別してすてることを徹底して頂きたいなと思いました😊
今あるゴミも、衣服だってリサイクルできるし、家電もリサイクルできる。パーツによってはレアメタルも含んでる。ゴミの中にあるプラごみだって、リサイクルできる。
こんなにゴミだらけにしてしまってからでは間に合わないかもしれないですが、まだ諦めないで、リサイクルを自国で始めれば良いと思います😆
それを先進国は支援すべきだと思います🍀
Even though they are injured, there are people who work at garbage dumps looking for electronic devices. Japan has the technology to recycle such parts.
I would like to hire people to work at these garbage sites and ensure that recyclable items are separated and thrown away.
You can recycle the garbage you currently have, even your clothes, and even home appliances. Some parts also contain rare metals. Even plastic waste found in garbage can be recycled.
It may not be possible to make it in time after all this trash is left behind, but don't give up just yet and I think it would be a good idea to start recycling in your own country.
I think developed countries should support this.
My goodold plasma panasonic tv has been working very nice for the last 15 years. My old phones are still at my home and i use rechargeable batteries all the time… so yeas buy quality products and you reduce waste and pollution… rest of people replacing crappy chinese phones every 6months and tvs every 2 years… so yeas… blame china not responsible consumers… 😅
How does this report make any sense. As he’s being interviewed he says there’s not a lot of electronics!
where? bbc sees that they are cleaned and repacked only to be sold to you again
I like how the thumbnail doesn’t have a single tv or mobile phone
Nowhere. They are not alive. But BBC is too stupid to see the difference.
PS.How's Brexit going, BBC? And where is the clip on beautiful Sunak's recession?
This is all part of the sixth mass extinction which is well on its way, cause humans . Good Luck Everyone .

These comments are filled mainly with weak people that feel "forced" to buy a brand new iphone on the release day. Sheep.
Are those giant birds the equivalent of Seagulls in Kenya?
Don't kill your Nokias.
kenya worst nation to have all that waste blame the governments
This is appalling. People shouldn't be forced to make a living this way.
well,Many years ago,They all used to get burried in to the ground at a waste site,One day,Recycling become available,All these years worth of waste what got burried,All got dug up out of the ground,All got recycled,Any thing else what gets chucked out,All gets recycled now days,Then it gets chucked out again,Then gets recycled over and over again,Amount of waste being saved now days
It’s the kind of country where one person can’t afford a roof and another has a gold bath
We were told that we were good people by recycling. Then we learned that the recyclers were just stealing the money and dumping the trash. Then recycling programs began to just disappear.
Another little government scam that made their buddies rich.
One of the better BBC affiliate stories. Recycle would be easy , but it comes down to money spent too money coming in. These are a very hard working people who will die from pollution. Why the US and the EU do not recycle is way beyond me.
Why are all these dump sites found in 3rd world countries? So western civilizations live well and healthy, give your garbage to the poorer countries so the people can get more sicker, diseased.
Recycling the old stuff is good and important and at the same time authorities should help these people who collect the waste with adequate protection equipments.

All my e-waste goes into a neat pile right at the back of my attic. Will probably chuck some insulation over it to hide it when I move out, and just walk away.
No one word about Avdeevka from BBC 😆
Im Sikhism we believe that if an iPhone lived a good life and helped others, they go to a wonderful place called heaven. But if they lived a dishonest life, they burn in iPhone hell.
Banana Republic have good thinking , well done 👏🏻
