Serial Twitter user here. How and why did your garbage stop heading to your local landfill - and instead wind up in the poorer parts of the world? For two years I traveled around the globe attempting to understand where trash gets shipped and why.
I really feel like more people need to read up about Marinakis, specifically ‘The Vampire Ship’ newrepublic.com/article/159252…

For @nytimes I wrote about what trash is doing to our planet. For more analysis, and some potential answers to the crisis, please consider ordering my book, Waste Wars. nytimes.com/2025/02/14/opi…
"Meanwhile, as the Soviet Union and its communist satellites imploded, the number of potential recipient nations"—for rich countries' trash—"mushroomed and attitudes towards the trade became more permissive" ft.com/content/6545b9…
“Little, Brown has given Waste Wars a bright cover, maybe to telegraph the abundant humor and humanity of Clapp’s prose.” Dan Piepenbring on @alexander_clapp’s Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife of Your Trash (@littlebrown). harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
"Clapp has performed an important and courageous service by exposing the workings of this furtive activity to sunlight." ft.com/content/6545b9…
"The phrase 'to throw away' is more viscerally expulsive than even our terms for bodily functions, with the possible exception of 'to throw up'—which, in spite of or because of the generosity of Clapp’s reporting, is what I felt like doing." -- @Harpers harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
“This garbage economy operates on the periphery of legality.” Dan Piepenbring on @alexander_clapp’s Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife of Your Trash (@littlebrown). harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
“Those of us who’ve rotted in cubicles may take a perverse pleasure in the towers of keyboards that refuse to rot. They stand as monuments to waste—and to time wasted.” Dan Piepenbring on @alexander_clapp’s Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife of Your Trash. harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
“Like polluted sunsets and iridescent oil slicks, end-of-life electronics can be quite beautiful.” Dan Piepenbring on @alexander_clapp’s Waste Wars: The Wild Afterlife of Your Trash (@littlebrown). harpers.org/archive/2025/0…
