ASH RECYCLERS in BBC WORLD
At Ash Recyclers the hazardous metals are safely extracted at a special plant, and everything else - down to the keys - is recycled.
There are plans for a large industrial recycling plant to open in 2007. Until then, the women at Ash Recycling help form the backbone of Bangalore's e-waste clean up.
