with a subsidy of a month for three months to pick up the group collections and transport the material to depots in and Hamilton It was felt Mc Donald could recover a month from the sale of the material to help cover his expenses But at the Monday night meeting McDonald explained some people perhaps unwittingly were dumping reusable garbage at the depots A few people t taking the tune to flatten out pop cans In addition to this paper items such as catalogues are being left at the sites The depot in Guelph where I deliver the paper will only take newspapers lie stated The speaker said perhaps a publicity campaign is needed so people placing material at SPINS three depots would be aware of the problems Mc Donald said he was contemplating placing an ad in the newspaper and conducting a telephone butt felt the program despite any difficulties was a good one and said interest as indicated b the amount of material left at the depots was increasing among residents McDonald also asked for a continuation of the per month subsidy as he was having problems in trucking the collections to the Guelph and Hamilton depots I took the Januarv collection of paper to a depot in Guelph but that has been the only delivery The depot in Guelph will not take any collections less than five tons He also remarked that so far he has not delivered any glass material to the Hamilton depot 1 breaking
