Every day at Agbogbloshie, informal e-waste pickers manually dismantle discarded electronics like this electric motor, all in search of valuable metals such as copper.

Their work, though driven by survival, highlights the urgent need for safer and more sustainable e-waste management systems in Ghana.

~Australian High Commissioner to Ghana

GreenAd had the honour of welcoming the Australian High Commissioner, Berenice Owen-Jones to our City Mining Centre (CMC) at Agbogbloshie, an e-waste collection and dismantling facility established to promote safe recycling practices and protect the environment.

Her visit formed part of the Australian Aid collaboration with Pure Earth under the Coalition Against Lead Pollution (CLAP) Project. Accompanied by Rev. Dr. Esmond Wisdom Quansah, Africa Regional Programs Director for Pure Earth, the Commissioner witnessed first-hand the impact of years of informal recycling on the community and the transformative work being done to address it.

Mr. Yaw Amoyaw-Osei, Executive Director of GreenAd, highlighted the long-standing collaboration between GreenAd and Earth, beginning from the Toxic Site Identification Project (TSIP), which used advanced tools such as XRF analysis to map out lead-contaminated hotspots in Ghana. Agbogbloshie, a critical site due to its severe pollution, became a focal point for action.

The Commissioner commended both organisations for their unwavering dedication to creating a cleaner, safer environment and expressed her willingness to support future collaborations that drive sustainable impact.

At GreenAd, we remain committed to advancing responsible e-waste management and safeguarding public health, one partnership at a time.

Rev. Dr. Esmond Wisdom Quansah, Africa Regional Program Director of Pure Earth, together with Firew K. Mekonnen, East Africa Director, Pure Earth, paid a working visit to GreenAd’s City Mining Centre (CMC) in Agbogbloshie.

During the visit, Mr. Mekonnen expressed his admiration for the tremendous progress made through the joint efforts of GreenAd and Pure Earth over the years. He noted how the initiative has transformed environmental practices at one of Ghana’s largest scrap yards, setting a positive example for sustainable e-waste management across the region.

A key highlight of the visit was the incentive payment system, where e-waste materials are collected from informal pickers and safely dismantled and sent to the National Handing Over Center instead of being openly burned to extract valuable metals. This approach has significantly reduced cable burning and other hazardous practices, helping to protect both the environment and the health of workers within the Agbogbloshie community.

GreenAd remains committed to advancing safe, inclusive, and sustainable e-waste management solutions that protect people and the planet.

As part of our commitment to capacity building and workplace safety, Team GreenAd joined colleagues at the City Mining Centre (Agbogbloshie) for an intensive Fire Preparedness and Response Training.

This exercise followed an internal survey that highlighted the need to strengthen our team’s emergency response skills. Through the drill, participants gained hands-on experience in fire safety, prevention, and rapid response, ensuring a safer environment for everyone at both the office and the centre.

Together, we’re building a culture of safety, awareness, and resilience.
