The item was endorsed by the Regions planning and public works committee at its meeting last week and will go before regional council today (Wednesday) for consideration. A majority of the local municipalities will also have to give their consent to the bylaw for it to come into effect. If approved, the new regulation would see service level decisions made at the regional level something the local municipalities can currently alter themselves. The Regions plan is to have weekly Blue Box and GreenCart collection and bi-weekly garbage col- lection with a six-bag limit. With the new bylaw though, local councils would be able to request enhanced levels of service, such as when it comes to bulk waste and metal collection in the rural area. During last weeks meeting, Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette asked if garbage bag collection is going to be forced on those who dont currently have it in the rural area of his munic- ipality. I want to get a comfort level be- fore I can support this, he said. Halton Comm- issioner of Plann- ing and Public Works Peter Cro- ckett explained that GreenCarts and Blue Boxes are planned for the rural area to meet waste diversion targets. He noted that main- taining the status quo when it comes to rural Halton Hills garbage bag collec- tion wont have a detrimental effect on diversion efforts. Burlington Councillor Jack Denni- son questioned why the jurisdiction change is even necessary. Our feeling is to ensure were suc- cessful with the diversion targets, we need centralized control, Crockett said. Oakville Councillor Tom Adams echoed the commissioners sentiments. The Region has the responsibility to provide these programs and doesnt have the authority, he said. I think the responsibility and the authority should be in one place. Milton Councillor Barry Lee once again voiced his opposition to the bylaw. It is taking the control away from the local municipalities, he said, not- ing he thinks the bylaw will also pro- hibit the option to discuss service lev- els in the future. This is a total change in direction. Regional Chair Gary Carr reminded him that the Region is committed to working with and consulting the local municipalities about waste manage- ment decisions. We try to build great relationships with the local municipalities, he said. Bonnette asked if Milton would have an option to reverse the previous decision it made to have garbage bag pick-up in the rural area. Crockett said if the new bylaw is in place then it would be up to regional council to make that service level deci- sion. In this situation, he said staff would recommend maintaining the Blue Box and GreenCart pick-up in rural Milton. The local municipal councils are being asked to pass a resolution that gives consent to the bylaw by the begin- ning of April 2008. Three out of the four municipalities would have to approve the bylaw for it to come into effect. Region looks to centralize trash decisions MELANIE HENNESSEY Special to The IFP RICK BONNETTE
