Newport City Council in Wales plans to permanently close and seal a landfill in 2025-26. The landfill contains a hard drive that IT engineer James Howells mistakenly discarded in 2013 and contains 7,500 bitcoins, worth about $750 million at current prices. The council plans to convert part of the site into a solar farm to power the municipal electric fleet. Previously, Howells' lawsuit against the search for hard drives has been rejected by the Welsh court.
