Canadian Trash Update

The number of Canadian trucks bringing trash into Michigan has more than doubled in the last year, Democratic members of Congress said Monday.

Michigan now gets and average of 415 truckloads of trash per day from Canada, including 380 at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, and 35 at the Ambassador bridge in Detroit. That's up from an average of 180 per day in 2003, according to Democratic Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, and U.S. Rep John Dingell. The new numbers come from a survey conducted by the Department of Homeland Security, the lawmakers said.
