Deadly Litter — James White

SPACE GARBAGE

Common litter, trash--tossed from a speeding rocket, flash frozen in the void, whipped around the sun and hurtling in orbit--can prove as destructive as a guided missile, and less predictable. So destructive, in fact, that in crowded space traffic, littering may well be the future's worst crime.

So Captain Gregory must track down the one survivor of an eleven-year-old space collision to find out just what the Sunflower had jettisoned that might now be returning to Earth as a deadly meteor shower.
