Episode Details

After a devastating Canada Day storm flooded Nepean homes, residents dumped an estimated $30K worth of soaked goods—many contaminated with sewage—thanks to city waivers on trash limits. But here’s the twist: strangers started scavenging these biohazard-laden items, even reselling them online. Health Canada warns of serious infection risks, especially for kids playing with contaminated toys. One couple spotted their Aussie luggage on Facebook Marketplace—proof that dangerous items are slipping into secondhand markets. This disaster’s aftermath isn’t just messy—it’s dangerous, and a stark reminder to tread carefully when buying used stuff, especially after floods.
