It’s been far too long to call this feature “weekly”.  But I know you’re a forgiving readership.  This week in trash news:

• The Trash King of New Orleans makes millions off of hurricaine clean-up;
• Oregon composts roadkill;
• A dentist in Pennsylvania is caught illegally dumping syringes and other nasty supplies;
• A stinky trash plant leads to popular protests and then a government apology in China;
• Canadian half-marathoners will be forced to carry home their own trash; and
• GM makes big promises to recycle.
