Diversion figures for 1989 show that Durbam kept 12.58 per centof' waste out of dumps. At that rate, half of tbe region's target for 1992, tbe region will need roomJ for 2.1 million tonnes of garbage 'between Ibis year and 1996. If Dnih'am bits the 25 per cent diversion target, tbe region will nfeed space 10 dnmp 1.9 million tonnes of waste. Reacbing that target is the short- îermn waste management plans, said operations director Art Leitch. The region is reserving 1.4 million FIout questionaire on sewage system mittee wbo circulated questionnaires in this particular area. Over-all there was a 7.6 percent reurn of the cards, 608 in number. The Tetra Pak for juices headed the list of over-packaged items (57.7 percent) followed by Veggies with trays and wrap, processed cheese. Tbe above items were listed as necessary but as Helen MacDonald points out there are alternative packaging for these items that if us- ed wonld save in tbe production of waste for landfill sites. Following the processed cheese slices came Mea/Fish/'Polnîry packaging, indîvidual cereal packages, bagged milk along with cookies., In most cases tbere are alter- natives to more sensible packagin and il was this purpose of the cam- paign to bring home -the message the need to -understand tbat over- 'lackaging does contribute to tbe Y>ýrob1em nowý facing miunicipalities in providing sites for garbage. tonnes of capacity at ils proposed interim1 dump near Whitevale. Metro Torontiois gnaranteed the other 4.6 million tonnes of capaci- ty. Thiat leaves Durham witb 556,600 tonines of waste to dispose of between niow and 1992 wben Ii' opens if approved. Tbe garbage wil go 10 Metro's existing dumps, either Brock Road in Pickering or Keele Valley in York Region. If Durbam doesr't hit the 25 per cent, there wilI be a real probîem, Chairman Aker said. In 1989, Durham gcnerated' 326,000 tonnes of waste. It diverted 40,939 tonnes of that or 12.56 per cent. To gel to 25 per cent, the region wilI have 10 keep 47, 100 ton- nes of garbage out of dumps, through recycling, composting and reduction. Operations Director Art Leitch said, composting projects are im- portant since organic wastes ac- count for about 30 per cent of gar- bage heading to landfills. The Waste Management Com- mittee is suggesting Compost Management Associates'be retained, to monitor about 1,0600 ouseholds in the Pickering composting pro- ject. CMA will aIse analyse finished compost for quality and quantity. A 1989 Newcastle composting project, known throughout Canada as the Durham study, showed backyard composting can divert 240 kilograms of waste per year or 2.4 million tonnes over 10 years, the life of a commercial composter. The study, initiated by Garbage of On- tario Diminished, found no major difference in commercial com- posters and showed that wîth the exception of two people, aIl plann- ed 10 keep on compostîng. The whole comPosting program in, Pickering, including composters, the consultanî's participation, and students hired to act as trouble- shooters, will be close 10 1 million dollars. The Ministry of the En- vironment wiIl provide haîf the pro- gram cost. Art Leitch said the pro- ject is the first step 10 region-wide composîîng. A central -composting pilot project is due to begin later this year. it Pays tu Advertîse in the Tmes 98W3-5301 SThursday £Salurday Satur.,, June 3Oth 2 YEAR OLD FILLY PACE istRACEbo7:i30 P.M.
