A homeless man was crushed to death in a dustcart after he fell asleep in a wheelie bin, an inquest in Nottingham heard today. Raymond Pickering, 54, was living rough and fell asleep in a large commercial wheelie bin. On May 15 the bin was emptied with him inside. His body was found hours later at Biffa's waste-management site in Colwick.

Cyanide pollution incident
Untreated sewage and cyanide kill thousands of fish in river Trent.
A company that specialises in the disposal of hazardous waste was banned from discharging industrial effluent into the river Trent in Staffordshire today by environmental watchdogs investigating a leak of cynanide that led to the poisoning of thousands of fish.
Red Industries of Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, said it had voluntarily stopped discharge before the Environment Agency issued a suspension notice on its use of the sewer system.
The incident affected a 20-mile stretch of the Trent after the chemical entered a Severn Trent Water treatment plant at Strongford in the Potteries. The chemical killed bacteria that process sewage, meaning the waste was only partially treated before it entered the river. A clean-up operation is under way aimed at preventing further harm to fish or wildlife.
