Reggie Yates: A Week in a Toxic Waste Dump

Reggie heads to Ghana to live on one of the largest e-waste dumps in the world – Accra’s notorious Agbogbloshie. Working with a group of “burner boys”, the people grafting at what is considered to be the bottom of the ladder, Reggie discovers first hand what life's like for the people who eke out a living on the site. Dumping e-waste is illegal and the chemicals in the soil in Agbogbloshie mean it has been described as “the most toxic place on earth”. But could we really be complicit in creating it?
