We can probably look forward to something like this: Toxic Waste Mountains Blighting Communities
The Environment Agency said in 2014-2015 it was dealing with 50 abandoned sites in England, 10 of which contain more than 5,000 tons.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency said it was handling the clearance of another 14 sites of varying sizes.
All follow the same pattern of recycling firms starting-up business on private land then going into liquidation and leaving the waste mounds for landowners or the authorities to clean up at a cost millions of pounds.
BTW, I should have acknowledged my mistake and noted that The Star was not, in fact, non-current since they posted the original story I read. But I’m not a fan so f%^& it.
In earlier stories, Maidment called the spending “fair and reasonable,” because producers and retailers of tires fund the stewardship. Those corporations then pass on all of their costs to consumers.
“Fair and Reasonable” because they are only taking money from big business, which passes the cost to you and I. IOW, he is ripping off everyone. But he is only stealing a little tiny bit from each of us. What a wonderful human being.
BTW, where can I find a job like this?

Well, you could start at The Tire Stewardship for starters.
You’re welcome!
I’m curious — according to you, the Toronto Star is a shameless mouthpiece of the Liberal Party. How do you reconcile that claim with the fact that it was the Star that broke this story?
Don’t worry about it, Brian! Progressives never apologize for their own mistakes and are completely shameless/blameless in their transgressions.
And any troll asking how we reconcile its’s the liberal rag Red Star reporting this story is nothing but a Factbully and TruthShamer.
“foursome with Premier Kathleen Wynne.
Who else threw up a little?
Name one gubmint enforced monopoly that isn’t strictly waste, corruption and theft.
LIberals = New and Improved Taxes
Taxes = Free Stuff for Liberals
Liberals = Thieves
Its their equation…as it has ALWAYS Been..!
Socialism – happily putting OTHER peoples’ money where YOUR mouth is since the early twentieth century
b-b-b-but . . . . that’s capitalism at its finest !!! cut costs !!! cut costs !!!! maximize profit by leaving a huge mess behind for taxpayers to clean up !!!! pure capitalism !!!
quitcherbitchin.
The military. There is some stuff going on in the military that isn’t waste, corruption or theft. (But yes, there is waste, corruption and theft there, too.)
“How do you reconcile that claim with the fact that it was the Star that broke this story?”
Even a blind pig finds the odd acorn. A broken clock is still right twice a day. You can only ignore the moose head on the dining room table so long before it starts to stink. If it bleeds it leads, so never let them see you bleed.
Et cetera.
You obviously don’t know what “pure capitalism” is.
Liberals are crooks. This surprises exactly no-one.
Wasn’t Tony Soprano in “waste management” too?
Nice to see The Star (p-tooey) keeping current with the news. Pretty sure I read this story here a few months ago.
That may have been this story.

@WalterF – yes, that would be the one. Thanks!
