with Bill Ellis THE GARBAGE I recently had cause to do away with a quantity of waste Pay th y first visit to the Waste Wise . I couldn’t believe what beehive of activity I walked into. A volunteer gently instructed me to separate coloured paper from white wisely made com- ment ‘et this sorting was going to take scompleo of hos, A nice lady, who w By af the tine, told me that if 1 wanted to help save the world I should be prepared to do some work. Well - shut my mouth and get sorting! Now — I have never really been into garbage — so:to speak. I slugged it to the curb and promptly forgot it. Most likely, I did not enter into the recycle programs with as muc intensity as was possible. Though I made an honest effor on glass bottles, cans and newspapers. papers. The comment of the lady at related some of my waste observances — she might have gone into shock. Why I can remember when a big laugh was to set fire to the Township dump. A good dump fire would burn for three or four days. Yes, there was a black smoke pall in the sky - and no — the fire department did not try to put out the fire. Or when most homes had a 45 gallon steel drum in the back yard, which ‘was used asa garbage incinera- tot. Or when one of the accept- ed smells of autumn: was the great aroma of burning leaves Out at the Ranch on almost every boule- vard. But that was & the old days — out in the “Boonies.” Today, garbage is big busi- ness. And poor John is pummeled and even ham- mered with continuous seopett opinions on what to do wit Obviously, no two vel a opinions agree. Incinerate — without danger to the atmosphere. Incinerate — with guaranteed atmospheric pollution. Bury it! — but where? certainly not here! How about over there? Who do you believe? What is best? Does anybody really know how much money was speat on “studies”, by all inter- ted parties, before Halton got it 's dump? As a’ person who is just newly into garbage — so to speak = most likely I really don’t have a g ing of the big arte picture. Whi a guy told mp me a a gubage RA ssays that nis Se ial Government set up and pays for an agency to pick dump sites.
