The Philippines' Bureau of Customs found that the containers contained only about one-third plastics that could be recycled. On Wednesday, Locsin said the garbage would leave the Philippines no later than May 15, "no ifs or buts." Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been pushed about the garbage on two visits to the Philippines, in 2015 and 2017. Austen did not say what the details of the Canadian offer were, including who will pay for the garbage's trip back across the Pacific or how much it will cost. Once it's on Canadian soil, though, Environment and Climate Change Canada will be responsible for ensuring the waste gets disposed of properly.
