The Insider Reggie Yates - Episode 3 A Week in one of World's Largest Toxic Waste Dumps
The Insider sees Reggie Yates live life for real in some of the world’s most diverse and demanding places.
Reggie heads to Ghana to live on one of the largest e-waste dumps in the world – Accra’s notorious Agbogbloshie.

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 can we really be complicit in creating it?
