Acton Quarry gets Award of Excellence Waste site celebrates birthday No. 15 Halton residents are invited to attend a community open house celebrating the Halton Waste Management Sites 15th birthday. The event takes place Saturday, September 29, 2007. Visitors are invited to drop in between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a cake cutting with Regional Chair Gary Carr at 12 p.m. Activities for visitors to the birthday party include: A guided bus tour of the Waste Site. View a new section of the landfill under construction and how soil and groundwater is protected. Watch the landfill machinery in action and up close. Take part in a craft made from reusable items. Enter a contest to name Haltons new Blue Box mascot. Enjoy a cash BBQ provided by the Lions Club of Milton. To help make the event waste free, visitors are asked to send an email to hwms15@halton.ca with how many people in their family are planning to attend. This will help us prepare the right amount of food and materials for the activities and minimize the amount of waste. The Halton Waste Management Site originally opened in 1992 with a life expectancy of 20 years, or the year 2012. Since Halton residents have been leaders in environmental stewardship including recycling, the life of the landfill life was extended to 2023. With the Region-wide implementation of the GreenCart in spring 2008, the life of the landfill life will be extended a further six to eight years. More than 200 politicians, neighbours, and Dufferin Aggregates staff enjoyed a buffet breakfast, tours of the operation, childrens activi- ties and aggregate product, and heavy equipment dis- plays at an open house at Dufferin Aggregates Open House on Saturday, Sept 8.
