  Obviously the charities within these countries have found a way to dump their rubbish without having to pay a disposal fee but rather they are receiving money for garbage. Absolutely shameful to take advantage of those who are only trying to survive!

  Being a GHANAIAN, I think all is not lost especially seeing people like Yayra & Kwabena thriving to revive these clothes. Its unfortunate there are not more of them.

  Africa is being used as dumping ground for car wreckage, house hold appliances, industrials machineries, tech gadgets, you name it and you will find it in Africa.

  I truly enjoy these documentaries because they make me take a look at myself. I thrift a lot more these days to get clothes at bargain prices but that can become troublesome too. I still have thrifted clothes here, not worn yet with the tags still on but I still like supporting that sustainable organisation. 😫

  Ghana, Senegal and other countries should follow Rwanda, Tanzania &amp; Uganda and prohibit the imports

  I&apos;m a South African, I&apos;ve seen more and more people around Cape Town and JHB selling these clothes. Something I&apos;ve learned from my grandmother is to use old clothes, cotton and jeans especially for make blankets, hand bags, mats etc. I thin textile companies can look into that to reduce this waste.

  I honestly did not know. It is rare that I&apos;m surprised and informed so thoroughly by these documentaries. I only donate clothes in good condition but never thought about what happens beyond that.

  I bet if Americans and Britians had to deal with our own waste and trash we&apos;d be better about sustainability and conscious shopping!

  Maybe we need to ration ourselves to 9 or 10 items of new clothing per year and 1 or 2 pairs of shoes.
