On Tuesday June 23, 2009 the PBS show Frontline aired a documentary, "Digital Dumping Ground," that focused on the trail of e-waste and where our electronics end up after they are broken down and "recycled" in the United States. Producer Peter Klein found that most of this hazardous waste ends up in Ghana, China, and India where many of the people are over-exposed to lead and other toxins that leak into the soil and air when the e-waste is crushed to make room for more. They also found that many of the hard drives are still intact and full of personal information, such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc., making the dumping grounds a very popular hangout for scam artists in these poverty stricken areas.
