The federal government has privately sanctioned several Canadian recycling companies for shipping illegal, unsorted household trash to developing countries, but is keeping the list of names of those caught violating environmental and international laws secret from the public, a Fifth Estate/Enquête investigation has found.
Montreal's inspector general tabled a damning report Monday in which she accuses the company that operates Montreal's two recycling centres of failing to pass on all it obtains when it resells recyclable materials.
