Nigeria's bustling commercial capital, Lagos, has a market where other people's computer trash is refurbished and resold. Used, recycled, donated, recovered, Chinese-made, shipped, flown, or stolen, parts or whole, it does not matter.

This market in Ikeja, Lagos, is called "computer village." Here people come to trade, sell, buy, anything computer-related: hard drives, monitors and accessories, even if they are not the latest models.

What is considered high-tech trash in the developed world is reassembled and repackaged to fit local needs and local prices.
