Mobro 4000 Garbage Barge

The Mobro 4000 Garbage Barge was a famous hauling of trash from Islip, NY to Belize. The reason for this was to find a place to put the trash because NC officials from a pilot program that usually takes the trash and turns it into a base for natural gas didn't this time. The reason they did not take it this time was because the trash needed an inspection for any harmful toxic waste that might be in the trash. The trash was taken on a barge from NY to Belize and back because they could not find a place to put the trash. The trash was eventually incinerated and the ashes were put in its original place in Islip .
