Basel Action Network (BAN) tracked 7 sea-going containers of the collected toxic e-waste to Hong Kong and South Africa after assurances were made by EarthEcycle owner, Mr. Jeffrey Nixon, that the wastes would be recycled locally.

The counts include 'unauthorized export of hazardous waste' and 'failure to prepare a hazardous waste manifest.'"
