Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses...actually, no, forget that. Just give us your trash...
Apparently Scotland has to deal with 180,000 tonnes of rubbish brought in from beyond it's borders. Some of this is imported for specialist recycling, but a staggering 94,000 tonnes of it was just destined for landfill.
It appears that Scottish landfill sites have been undercutting their English counterparts in disposal fees, making it economic to transport waste hundreds of miles in the back of trucks just to dump it in a big hole in the ground.
Lucrative? Yes. Crazy? Absolutely.

oh gosh, sorry to hear about this!!
am suitably despairing over Slovenian landfill/waste management wisdom...
wish you guys somehow manage to rebell it or something? or at least make it more expensive?
can they legally do that?
