In other countries your definition of hazardous is an acceptable risk. My mother tells me stories of people rooting through garbage in the Philippines. I also went to my local freegeek (and won't go back again because I can't tolerate the low quality air). Also, in Ghana a bunch of electronics gets processed by people (and they are quite toxic) from our consumer electronics. From this article it seems like they were able to salvage computers (at a considerable risk) See https://medium.com/@felipearaujo22/i-was-looking-for-africas-biggest-electronics-dump-but-found-a-community-of-creators-instead-654027ce5c5b https://medium.com/@felipearaujo22/i-was-looking-for-africas... I don't know why people throw away their consumer electronics. I got an Original iPhone for $5 and sold it back to AT&T for $100 trade in credit (this was in 2012). I also used the phone on their 2G network for six months and connected to local WiFi.
