Largest Landfill in Africa, 2024

Olusosun dumpsite spans over 40 hectares in Lagos, Nigeria. The site receives 10,000 tons of waste every day. This includes not only domestic refuse but also international waste, particularly electronic waste offloaded from container ships. Much of this e-waste is treated with hazardous chemicals to extract reusable components, releasing toxic fumes that pollute the air and pose serious health risks.
