Dive Brief:

• Clean Harbors has decided against transporting hazardous waste from the Love Canal Superfund site to a waste processing plant in Corunna, Ontario.
• The plan was to deliver 100 truckloads of toxic waste to the facility, where the materials would be buried. 
• The Massachusetts-based hazardous waste disposal firm began shipping the waste last week, before it abruptly ceased its transport operations. It is unclear what led to the halt in actions.

Dive Insight:

Love Canal is a landfill located in Niagara Falls, NY that became notorious for the sheer amount of toxic waste dumped there—around 21,000 tons of chemicals, including carcinogens such as benzene and dioxin.
