Happens commonly in Europe too. I remember reading a while back since China stopped a significant amount of recycling for Europe (I think due to trade restrictions) a bulk of the waste ends up in the hands of organised crime? Hopefully someone with more up-to-date knowledge can correct this if not accurate.
