Overview
What happens to all the waste we discard? Not everything lands up in the incinerator. Stuff like our mobile phones, refrigerators, e-waste or clothes? We imagine them being reused or recycled. But that's one side of the story. Presenter Jason Godfrey is on a mission to find out where our trash goes.

Overview
Compared to your current smartphone, the old 2G phone in your drawer is more toxic when incinerated, and more precious when recycled. We only recycle 6000 phones a year. Instead we trash some half a million phones every year. #Trashtrail tallies the environmental costs of not recycling our phones.
