Regional Council voîed Wednesday 10 impose its new charges t0 match the new policy of Metro. Council also voted 10 allow people in passenger cars and non-commercial pickup trucks 10 dump under 100 kilograms of any type of garbage free each day. The decision to allow some pickup trucks and vans to dump fre counters the recom- mendation of the Waste Manage- ment Committce. Some Coun- cillors counter-charged that many residents own pickup trucks or vans instead of passenger cars, and now would be penalized by the new charges. Other Councillors allcged that with free dumping limited to bags of houschold garbage, residents would be unable to dump old bushes or stumps without charges.
