I've spent some time there and I can share a first-hand perspective. It looks like a dump in the pictures, but it's not. It's an active scrapyard. No material stays in Agbogbloshie for very long. Electronics show up, are mined for raw materials in crude fashion, and then the raw material is sold. Unprofitable material like copper cable jackets are burned. Some of the footage I shot is in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMwLUnd_ydI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMwLUnd_ydI The other thing about Agbogbloshie nobody talks about: encircling the scrapyard is a huge repair yard where people fix everything they possibly can. It's only the stuff that can't get fixed and resold that goes to the urban mine.
