Sweden to import Italian trash?

I just heard this on the news. Apperently Neaples (and maybe other parts of italy) has way too much garbage than they can process and they are thinking about paying Sweden to take care of it.

I blame Pishk, we all know he is far to lazy to recycle his garbage

impossible, there is an internacional law against sell trash to other contries, if i am not wrong

Germans imported 1000 tonnes of trash illegally to Hungary a few years ago, but Ithink it won't work cause Sweden is too far from Italy.

Why would there be a law like that? I am sure small states, like the vatican, Andorra, etc pretty much depends on it.

The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, usually known simply as the Basel Convention, is an international treaty that was designed to reduce the movements of hazardous waste between nations, and specifically to prevent transfer of hazardous waste from developed to less developed countries (LDCs).

I can find 'hazardous' waste limitations of waste movements. Nothing jumps out of Google about ordinary waste being moved about, for recycling or burial.
