Toxic Waste was an anarcho-punk band from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Career

The band formed in 1982 in Newtownards, Co, Down, after being inspired by the

Mortarhate. Members of the band were involved with the Belfast-based Warzone Collective
, which included a vegetarian cafe called Giros, practice space for bands, and screen-printing studio.

They toured Europe twice before they eventually split in 1986. Roy Wallace released Belfast in 1987, performing with Deno and Gary from DIRT to re-record old Toxic Waste tracks (as well as previously unreleased tracks). Marty and Roy used their experience from their time in Toxic Waste to form Bleeding Rectum. The band was revived briefly in 1991 for a benefit tour, with Deno from DIRT on vocals.
