Tracking Your Trash: Exposing Recycling Myths
Marketplace producers go undercover overseas and pose as recycling brokers to expose the lucrative plastic waste business. We reveal that companies are willing to break the law to buy Canadian plastic and show how some of it is dumped and burned in illegal landfills, where the toxic fumes and run-off is making people sick. Back in Canada, we buy nine tonnes of plastic and secretly track where big companies are taking it. Will it actually get recycled?

Busting tech support scammers
Marketplace tackles one of the largest scams targeting Canadians: Fake technicians claiming your home computer or smartphone is compromised — and demanding hundreds or thousands of dollars to fix it. We discover that much of the scamming activity emanates from call centres in India, and after months of cultivating sources on the ground, we get inside. Plus, we ask: What is the RCMP doing to stop this scam for good?

Should you trust your credit score?
It's easier than ever to check your credit score online but is there a catch? We ask three people to check their scores on Credit Karma, TransUnion, Equifax, and Borrowell. The results might surprise you. Plus, Livia sells a cute device promising to reduce your period pain. But with a hefty price tag, does it work any better than what's currently on the market, for less than half the price? Find out on an all-new Buzzkill.

School Violence: How to Fight for Safer Schools
We test school boards across the country by asking one question: How many students have attacked other students? The majority of schools refused to answer, so we decided to just ask students themselves. We commissioned a national survey asking youth about their experiences with physical and sexual violence, homophobia and racism — from kindergarten to grade 12. This months-long CBC News and Marketplace investigation reveals student-on-student violence in schools is all too common, and drastically underreported.
