Canadian Garbage to Michigan Landfills (stir here)
Quote:
February 19, 2018
After years of decline, Canada's dirty diapers, coffee grounds and banana peels are once again being trucked to Michigan in a major way.
The reason? Michigan's abundant landfills and low fees make it a preferred destination for trash from other states and other countries.
"Michigan has made its regulations as landfill-friendly and trash-friendly as any state in the country," said Mike Garfield, executive director of The Ecology Center, an Ann Arbor-based environmental nonprofit.
The amount of Canadian solid waste imported to Michigan jumped 19% from fiscal year 2016 to fiscal year 2017, to nearly 10.6 million cubic yards, according to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's latest annual solid waste report. That’s enough trash to fill 881,000, three-axle dump trucks. Those dump trucks, lined up bumper-to-bumper, would stretch from Florida’s Atlantic Coast to California’s Pacific Coast and back to the Gulf of Mexico in Texas.

NOT to dump garbage where it's allowed, with the least expensive overall cost...would be dumb.
As a general rule, with my extensive lifelong interaction with a lot of average Canadian's...they are anything but dumb.
