When it rains the city sewer system combines the rainwater and regular sewer-water. This then washes into the river and from the river onto the shoreline.

This sewage disposal plan would have worked before the invention of plastic, but with the invention of plastic, the garbage in the sewage does not disappear. The plastic continually builds up on the shoreline and goes out to sea.

The hungry fish eat it. The birds eat the fish. http://youtu.be/Ai3IKO_afqs

Sewage washing up on eastern Montreal shores

"People living in Pointe-aux-Trembles say they're fed up with smelly garbage washing up on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.

Raymond Desgagnés said garbage has been washing up on the shore of his property since he bought it in 1996. He said he's concerned about the safety of his grandchildren." CBC News Posted: Jul 25, 2012
