Summary: James Howells accidentally discarded a hard drive containing 7,500 bitcoins in a landfill in Newport, Wales. Despite his attempts to sue the council for access to the site or compensation, he was unsuccessful. The landfill is scheduled to close in 2025-26, leading to a projected revenue loss for the council. However, part of the land will be used for a solar farm to power the council's electric bin lorries as they transition away from diesel vehicles.
