Call 623- YWCA for details. by Andrea Adair An official with the Durham Region. public works department warned that Durham may be storing garbage in tennis courts if a short term solution to the garbage crisis isn't found soon. Art Leitch, the director of operations operations with the regional public works department, appeared at the GOOD (Garbage Of Ontario Diminished) committee committee meeting Monday night to explain explain what the Durham Region is doing doing about waste. He said the Brock West landfill site is expected to close by this time, next year, leaving Durham with no site to put its garbage. Durham Region has recently approved approved a master plan for waste management management that will deal with reducing waste and finding a long-term solution to garbage disposal. But he said nothing nothing has been found to attack the short term problem when Brock West closes. The region may be looking at a span of three to five years when they will have no place to dispose of their waste. He mentioned using an existing landfill site during that time as a possible possible solution to tne short term problem. problem. Although the outlook for short term waste disposal isn't very bright, the long-term solutions to garbage, on the other hand, appear to be more promising. promising. The master plan will look at a number number of waste management options, he said, including incineration, energy from waste ana landfill. Once the type of waste management technology has been decided upon, a site for tne technology will then be selected. selected. "Everyone has a community that doesn't want a site," he said but, the master plan calls for a site by the spring of 1990. The location of the site will be decided by that time he said, adding that it was going to be in the Durham Region. Mr. Leitch said he wants the public to be involved in the site selection process process even though he noted that "it is not going to be a fun thing to do, participating participating in this process." He doesn't think the enthusiam people people feel toward recycling will equal the enthusiam the public will feel towards the disposal part of the master plan. Recycling methods will continue to be used in the region with the hope of reaching Durham's goal of reducing garbage by 25 per cent by the year 1993. Recycling is an integral part of the master plan, Mr. Leitch says, adding that more emphasis will be placed on the four R's (recycle, reuse, reduce and recover) to try to acheive the Region's goal. Right now the Blue Box recycling program accounts for five per cent of the total waste stream (residential and commercial). The products currently used in the program (newspapers, glass and cans) are relatively easy to recycle, he said, because there is a market for the products products and they are easily separated. Other products might be more difficult difficult to recycle, Mr. Leitch said: "I have some confidence that the reduction target can be acheived, mainly because because of groups like this." Since the GOOD committee formed in Newcastle eight months ago, chairman chairman John Veldnuis said watch batteries batteries are now being recycled at two jewellers jewellers in Bowmanville and the group has been working toward recycling plastics and rubber tires. Mr. Leitch said recycling rubber products wasn't included in the budget for this year, however, 20 separate recycling recycling programs worth roughly $2.5 million have been included.
