    An important piece of context here is that Sweden basically closed all it’s garbage dumps as they are traditionally known. Anything recyclable is taken to the recycling plant, anything compostable is taken to a compost and the rest is burned as fuel.

    The result is that you can’t just drive to the dump with your waste and you have to actually sort and manage your own waste. Or you pay these fucking knuckle draggers to take the garbage and just throw it into the woods. Lots of companies are always on the look out for weird sub contractors to do environmental crime for them and think pink just got a bit too successful.

      Why don’t they put all the waste facilities right next to each other instead of making you move just to get rid of your wastes?

      Think Pink is accused of carrying out Sweden’s worst environmental crime since the company BT Kemi buried barrels of poison in southern Sweden in the 70s.

      That story well known too?
