Waste from NI washes up on US shoreline
BBC News By Conor Macauley Published image copyrightEthan Andrews/The Free Press A clean-up is under way on the east coast of America after several tonnes of Northern Ireland household waste ended up in the sea there. It had been part of a much larger shipment sent to fuel a US waste incinerator by County Down-based company Re-Gen. Two large cubes of shredded waste fell as they were being off-loaded at the docks in a storm. Re-Gen said it was a "one-off, extremely unfortunate occurrence". One of the cubes of waste - containing about a tonne of material - could not be recovered.
