Council's support was unanimous after a lengthy debate Monday afternoon and input from about 20 residents expressing their concerns at a meeting in the council chambers.

Ward 4 rep Joyce Kelly agreed there is a definite need for the station to be able to accept the small loads of commercial waste. "This is what we are aiming for, not large com- mercial trucks," said Councillor Kelly. She added that the new certificate may help reduce the amount of trash being dumped along road allowances. 'But several residents said they oppose the new certificate, partly because they are not happy with Council supports permit for commercial waste at dump the way the station has been operated in the past. "This will lead to more expansion and more traffic. Based on past records, | don't think this (new cer- tificate) is deserved, " said Rick Butler, who lives near- by. Councillors tried to assure residents that regional officials under- stand the concerns of resi- dents, and that every effort must be made to cut down on blowing garbage and other irritants.
