I don't put much stock in anything the UN says or does, but, a recent April 2015 report states there are 47 Million tons of ewaste most of which is in England going to land fills. Their estimate is it contains 300 tons of gold and 1000 tons of silver.
The real story is , the UN is one of the tree huger organizations that makes it hard and expensive to recycle any thing.
They blame us developed country's for polluting 3rd world countries, is China the #1 economy in the world a 3rd world country?
For centuries these country's have used their rivers and vacant land for sewers and dump sites, long before there was an America or Canada.
You can visit any non tourist port river or other area of The Philippines, India or any of them and see the real truth.
