“As long as there are plenty of sites, the market cost of dumping such wastes will be low. As public opposition to dumps grows, the number of sites available for new dumps will decline, and there will be greater competition to dispose of toxics at the remaining sites. This will drive dumping costs up because of the “scarcity” of space relative to demand. Producers may look for alternatives such as shipping the toxics to foreign countries.”
Lipschutz, Ronnie D

Khian Sea, 1986
In 1986, the Khian Sea went to sea in search of a disposal site for 14, 000 metric tons of toxic incinerator ash which contained high levels of lead and cadmium. After searching five continents and changing its name twice, it dumped part of its contents on a beach in Haiti and the rest somewhere between the Suez Canal and Singapore
