After watching the video, it kept me thinking how on earth could we( Ghanaians ) create an attractive market for these wastes. We are to be largely blamed for this. We tend to like these garbages a.k.a "home use" from the west. You should see people lined up in long queues just to pick the best out of these bazillion wastes.
If there are policies out there to make importation of these wastes unattractive, I don't think any importer will give a look at these. Hence no or little of them will come in.
If you watched the video to the fullest, its horrifying how these young men extract sensitive data from the dumped HDD. The best way of disposing these HDDs is to crash them if you ask me.
Anyhow, if you have any comment, feel free to pass it.
