Guiyu
Guiyu in the Shantou region of China is a
massive electronic waste processing
community.[23][38][39] It is often referred to
as the "e-waste capital of the world."
Traditionally, Guiyu was an agricultural
community; however, in the mid-1990s it
transformed into an e-waste recycling
center involving over 75% of the local
households and an additional 100,000
migrant workers.[40] Thousands of
individual workshops employ laborers to
snip cables, pry chips from circuit boards,
grind plastic computer cases into
particles, and dip circuit boards in acid
baths to dissolve the precious metals.
Others work to strip insulation from all
wiring in an attempt to salvage tiny
amounts of copper wire.[41] Uncontrolled
burning, disassembly, and disposal has led
to a number of environmental problems
such as groundwater contamination,
atmospheric pollution, and water pollution
either by immediate discharge or from
surface runoff (especially near coastal
areas), as well as health problems
including occupational safety and health
effects among those directly and indirectly
involved, due to the methods of
processing the waste.

Information security
E-waste presents a potential security
threat to individuals and exporting
countries. Hard drives that are not properly
erased before the computer is disposed of
can be reopened, exposing sensitive
information. Credit card numbers, private
financial data, account information, and
records of online transactions can be
accessed by most willing individuals.
Organized criminals in Ghana commonly
search the drives for information to use in
local scams.[55] Electronic files about
government contracts have been
discovered on hard drives found in
Agbogbloshie. Multimillion-dollar
agreements from United States security
institutions such as the Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA), the
Transportation Security Administration,
and Homeland Security have all resurfaced
in Agbogbloshie.[55][56]
