Looks like Asian countries are not interested to be dumping grounds for West anymore

From last couple of months:

I wonder if garbage is being sent to Pakistan too

There were reports back in 90s that PPP's CM Zulfiqar Magsi took money to dump nuclear waste of an Italian company in Balochistan.

Western countries should find a way to convert these garbage into something useful. It is not cool to send these things to 3rd world countries.

IIRC one of the Scandinavian countries are converting garbage into energy, pretty sure they wouldn't mind accepting it

What a load, poor countries are getting paid for being the dumping shittt holes. Article and OP makes it seem like they are being forced!

We already have garbage like Nawaz, Shahbaaz and Zardari. If poorer countries didn't agree they wouldn't have become dumping grounds in the first place. All countries should be responsible for their own litter.
