Canadian recycling companies caught shipping illegal trash overseas | CBC

Fifth Estate/Enquête investigation has found Canadian recycling companies are breaking the law by shipping illegal, unsorted household trash — hidden among approved recycling exports — to developing countries.

But the federal government is keeping the list of names of those caught violating environmental and international laws secret from the public.

In the last five years, at least 123 shipping containers have been returned to Canada for carrying unrecyclable trash.
