From AFP:

Three containers with suspected toxic electronic waste from the United States were detained by Hong Kong inspectors after environmental activists boarded a cargo ship, a campaigner said Sunday.

The activists from Greenpeace placed a giant banner across three containers that said “Toxic Waste Not Welcomed Here” aboard a ship that was due to unload the containers in Hong Kong late Saturday.

The e-waste would then have been trucked to nearby Guangdong province in southern China, where it would have been dismantled, Edward Chan, a Greenpeace campaigner told AFP.
