MANILA, Philippines — Coinciding with the observance of Labor Day, labor groups on Wednesday urged the Canadian government to take back their garbage dumped in the country. In a statement, the EcoWaste Coalition cited the common stand of some labor groups in urging Canada to take back the trash intercepted in the country by the Bureau of Customs in 2013 and 2014. The mixed garbage was then declared as “recyclable scrap plastics.”ADVERTISEMENT“Canada should take back their garbage and stop exporting pollution. De Guzman, a senatorial candidate in the midterm polls, said the policy is partly to be blamed for the entry of hazardous wastes disguised as recyclable materials into the country’s ports. /mufRELATED STORIESADVERTISEMENTLocal, int’l eco groups urge Trudeau to take back Canadian garbageDuterte to Canada: Take trash back or else I’ll declare warCanadian envoy: ‘We are working as quickly as we can’ on trash take backRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
