Don't know where to look first! Much to see!
Daniel was our guide for this interesting tour. The place is quite dirty (as scrap yards are). Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for grit and dust. You'll walk through an enormous onion market to get to the site and there will be all sorts of vehicles. Walk single file and be alert! Once you get to the yard you can relax a bit and begin to look around. There is an entire community built within the site and the workers and their families live there. We met a second guide who introduced us to some of the people (including his wife, sister and his child in the recess yard at school!). We met the community leaders, too. There are small shops. A mosque. A betting parlour, even. Chickens, cows and goats. Children playing. Laundry drying. And though there are all kinds of pollutants and dangers I did not feel a sense of hopelessness. People were working diligently scouring scrap for usable parts. I wish there wasn't so much stuff discarded but I also know some people depend on discarded stuff for income. Daniel gave us some really good candid photos he took of us at the end of the tour. Oh, it goes without saying you shouldn't just take photos of whoever whenever you feel like it. It's not just a worksite it's also a hometown for many.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review of Kwame Tours and our team! We are thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with us, and we look forward to continuing to provide excellent service. We truly value your feedback, as it helps us improve and serve

Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Accra.
How much does Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Accra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Accra is not rushed.
Is Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Accra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Accra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Accra and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Accra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Accra?
+
On Outty we rank every Accra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experience the Beauty, History and the Culture Of Accra in a Day, Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle & Kakum National Park Day Tour, Accra Guided City Tour: Cultural and Historical Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Accra?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Accra?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie?
+

Does Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 497 listed pickup locations in and around Accra. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Accra E-waste and Recycling experience in Agbogbloshie?
