3.5 million pounds of hazardous waste clog Clearfield warehouse as recycler goes to prison

Building owner Andy Renfro is stuck with the mess, after his recycling company tenant went bust and its CEO this week got sentenced to federal prison for violating environmental law.

In October 2013, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality cited Stone Castle Recycling and its owner and CEO, Anthony Stoddard, with illegally storing and dumping hazardous waste at the site.
