🙏🙏 Thank for the information this channel is very good 👍 informer 👌👌 thanks for of all the presenter Team🙏🙏
With this incredible mental power and work attitude these guys would be an asset at any workplace in Europe.
What an awesome group of humans. We use to burn copper when I was younger too just like this. Here in Upstate NY. So just know it's not only there.
Yea, but copper burning in KY involves a ton on meth. They are doing it for food.
You get more money stripping the wire and not burning it.
This documentary is really well done showing the sad reality; Instead of creating proper jobs for hard working people Western waste is dumped adding up to the problems Risking their health..
Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I want to help them so badly. I wish I could DIRECTLY SEND MONEY
No person who sees this should ever complain about their job
Excellent. With tears bro.😢
Amazing to watch from Vancouver Island, B.C. 🇨🇦. When i was nine yrs old my younger brother's and i would collect copper next door that was an Electric Shop . This was in the 60's and we wiuld get 30-50 cents,enough for penny candy. My hear goes out to your people.❤
GREAT DOC REGGIE...YOU BRING STORIES TO LIFE...KEEP IT UP!!!
ALL THE BEST TO THE BOYS...!!
Crazy. Brass is King, Copper is queen, and aluminum is the Court jester. They should be hunting brass
AMAZING VIDEO BROTHER 💗💗💗💗 LOVE AND RESPECT 🙏🙏🙏
What's amazing is how clean everyone is away from this dump.
Am still wondering if I was the first person to watch this unreleased documentary yet. 😂
All the same I have really learn a lot from documentary and I will wish to do similar documentary on the influx of second cloth in Ghana 🇬🇭
Didn’t this place get washed away from a flood? Very heartwarming and shocking
PRETTY GREAT VIDEO.
Omg how many times are they going to re upload this, with a different title.
"I've been told that being here for just one week, I'll be fine"

Thia was an incredible story.
Wait didnt i just watch this a couple days ago? Is this a repost?
❤ Excellent reporter is reporting his fantastic,
The story is sad but it's necessary ?😢
Imagine if everyone had electric cars and all the dumped batteries over many years.
😄or maybe: Imagine if everyone did exactly the same as we've been doing over many years... oh, yer, we don't need to imagine, they've made "A Week in a Toxic Waste Dump". 🙄
Exactly, an e.v. creates twice as much pollution when junked than a combustion vehicle.
@@bradleysmith9431😄 Completely and utterly untrue. Nowadays EV car batteries can be processed to be re-cycled . And how much pollution does combustion creates compared to EV over it's life time?? And again: Imagine if everyone did exactly the same as we've been doing...
(and also, this doc was about the materials we DON"T recycle are ourselves - all machinery not just fossil fuel engines.)
@@JohnDoe-tx8lq it takes more coal being burned to charge up a battery than it would fuel in a combustion engine to go the same distance. Plus it takes longer in an e.v. because you have to wait for it to charge. Imagine a suburban area with an e.v. in every garage, then that neighborhood gets flooded... Now not only do they have water damage, but every house has also burned up. Lithium+water=🔥
@@bradleysmith9431 Complete rubbish from start to end. Amazing. And all the houses are flooded AND burnt down? 🤣 Well at least storage of petrol has never been a fire problem... 😆
I wonder what our Recycling Used Electronic Sites here in Australia are doing with our broken electronics and electrical products????? Do we have... I mean, Are We in Australia taking some responsibility ? and not Just 'Feeling Good' because we dropped it off to a recycling drop site??? Are we allowed to Follow It?... I am not even sure, so we should be informed Exactly Where Waste Ends Up, and Help in a better way..
Ghana Government must really do more to help it's growing slums to be repatriated and rezoned, like their politician the interviewer spoke with said to replace this with better, clean and healthy work. Ghana Government should also pay for all the medicines and medical trouble for All those people and their :'''''' :''''''
Africa is too corrupt.the descendants of the same tribes that captured and sold their brothers into slavery, are who is in power today in Africa. They are tribal, and very discriminate. They can tell what tribe a person is from just by their skeleton structure, skin color, and their dress.
A lot of easy to recycle products gets scrapped locally then the rest usually gets exported to be recycled. the problem with governments now is they want to say they reaching emissions targets but all they is doing is exporting heavy industry and waste to a country that has very little regulations. They don’t seem to realise all they are doing is moving pollution to another country and emissions don’t discriminate where they are emitted it all pollutes our small world and untill Australians are willing to subsidise proper recycling in Australia nothing will change. First world countries would be overwhelmed with rubbish if there wasn’t poor people willing to do what the rich don’t. It’s perhaps the biggest scam going this eco/green term is killing the world and the greens party in Australia are the worse people it’s that outer sight outer mind bs they don’t give 2 fks about environment because if they did we would be subsidising all heavy industry to remain in Australia and not exporting emissions
Is this your video? Swear I saw this on another channel about a week ago
I want to help them
@MANIC3420.... so you want to help them, are you doing anything or just BS....are you donating money to these people? I doubt that...blah blah blah
@@eldorado1244 I said I want to help. Didn't say I am helping you divvy
@@MANIC3420the best way is to go there and do something, sending money to charities is just a waste.
ish aint no joke
from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
come all to germany then the waste will magicly disapear.
he cries about all countrys sending thresh but who accept it in the port ? corrupted face
@@bastikali9268they play the classic blame game
I needed a long shower after watching this🚿...and a tetanus shot💉
What if,, THEY plant tropical vegetable rather than burning scraps, coconut planting is one option .
Not as much money, not daily. They can't afford to wait for a harvest to make money.
Ground is likely so polluted it will never grow anything of value ever again.
not new...just renamed & relaunched
first upload did 5mil in the first week. ofc they gonna reupload for that paycheck
Agree
Link?
❤😮
Its like something Europe in mid 19th century.
U are a hard man, i don't think i can do this though i was born in ghana base in USA, u try well
Antes de destruir los aparatos electronicos deverian clasificar y resiclar lo que sirve y puede funcionar.
Pay your people ooohhh...we don't charge 😢
a few years old. c'mon man we need date?
No gloves?????
👎👎Really? Thiis vid is old and from another channel. NOTHING NEW TO DISCOVER HERE. 5:58
All they need is some engineer who will show them how to make a simple insulation cutter.
Someone did , it attaches to a bicycle and the chain powers a cutter that separates it
They didn't think to make one themselves 😂 Some "white devil" in the UK designed it for them to save them from toxic smoke .
Like a pocket knife... Yeah they have those. You also get paid more to strip the wire instead of burning it.
💔❤🩹💔 I am crying
Ah well , guess we'll have to stop sending our waste there then Reggie and you can replace their only way of an income by dealing in scrap if we're so "complicit" .
Achei que o entrevistador ia dar dinheiro para eles.
Felt really bad happening them, cancer, same happening in India too in slums scraps burning for there life livelihoods, there cost of living in every city India, these people are not counted in there respectively, countries as citizens in India due to castism. Very pathetic society...
African are strong there immune system is so strong it's hard to get someone with cancer because of the environment 😊😊
Беспредел в Башкирии!!!

They should be in prison for creating all that pollution it's ridiculous that crap is legal
@noduh736….. don’t be naive, without this resource thousands of people would go hungry…..thank god we have these people willing to do this job….
Imagine if everyone had electric cars and all the dumped batteries over many years. 🤨
You cant recycle Lithium that way. It will never be worth what copper is. Soon we will change to Sodium based batteries.The internal combustion engines of the Global north cause more pollution and hardship than these guys by far.
