Kenya: e-Trash turned into cash
- Posted on Monday 4 April 2011 - 09:32Beryl Omunya, Voicesofafrica alumna in Nairobi, Kenya'We normally collect these electronic waste from dumping areas and some are brought to us by individuals', says Paul who is involved in buying and selling of electronic waste.Loading video...For instance someone might feel that one of his electronic items is spoiled and need to dispose it, he will just sell it out at a cheaper price then it is repaired and sold to someone else.
When this waste is brought in it is sorted out and those which are damaged are repaired and those beyond damaged are sold out to recycling companies.
I also found out that buyers are interested in these types of goods claiming that they last longer than new ones from the shop.
