Rejected PCBs May Return to Canada From Britain
Dominion Textiles Ltd. plans to reclaim seven drums of PCBs from a Soviet freighter in Montreal after English dockworkers refused unloading. Swan Hills remains the sole Canadian disposal site, but it won’t accept out of province waste, forcing a storage or alternate disposal solution. A second shipload of Quebec PCBs heads to Britain for incineration in Wales, with the Quebec Environment Department dispatching waste from St Basile le Grand.
