A new report reveals that up to 75% of the computers and electronics shipped to Africa supposedly for re-use is actually junk, unrepairable and unsalable. Much of the useless equipment ends up being dumped and burned in open air dumps and ditches, posing health threats to local residents and workers. See The Digital Dump.
