What about this story is not dystopian? We have a city with a toxic sludge lake created to power our obsession with replacing our phones every year.

One problem is we don't know if it's actually toxic. It's black and ugly, sure, but is it actually harmful? The modest radiation figure he quotes (3x background) is not particularly worrisome.
