WOOD ISLANDS – Clayton Handrahan, a Waste Disposal Agent with over 15 years experience in the trade, knew that there was something odd yesterday morning when he was driving his normal route in his garbage truck.
“I mean, it was kind of hard to miss it,” said Handrahan. “It’s not every day that you see a car ferry that can carry 220 cars tossed out beside a waste bin. Just a matter of time, I guess.”
“I’m only surprised they didn’t do it sooner.”
Handrahan did have to call for backup, as he was unable to lift the 2000-ton car ferry into his garbage truck to be crushed and disposed of at a local landfill by himself.
“The thing is, because there’s so much plastic #5, #6 and #7 that they can’t be recycled, so, the whole thing [the billion-dollar MV Confederation car ferry, launched in 1993] is considered waste.”
Handrahan noted that it was much easier to dispose of the MV Confederation than it was to sift through the charred remains of the Holiday Island, which somehow burned in the summer of 2022.
