town lawyer John Schaljo into who owned the pro perty There was some specula tion that Hills owned it But Mr Schaljo said the then Village of Georgetown sold the property to the DND in 1890 Once construction of the new armoury is finished the property will be made available but not necessarily to the town said the Director of Property John Hill if another federal govern and then the provin

conducting its first ever Municipal leaf and yard waste collection The collection will take place in all urban areas of Hills The pick up is an added service this year and if successful a per manent program will likely be established Yard and garden waste account for approximately 30 per cent of the average household refuse Items such as grass clippings old flower stalks and hedge trimming will be by the collectors The materials are then lo be trucked down to Scott Farms on Bnttania Road just west of Trafalgar Scotts are accepting the materials for a tonne These costs are considerably less than the present 116 a tonne it would cost the Municipality if the yard wastes were to be landfilled Scott farms recently received a certificate of approval from the Ministry of the Environment Since this program is brand new the number of tonnes that the Town will collect is difficult to estimate The materials that Scotts are prepared to take must be fairly clean and free of contaminants such as plastics or other household refuse Participants in the program are urged to take every measrue to ensure that the materials being placed at the are relatively free of foreign matter This program is in effect in other area Municipalities and the success rate has been very high Oakvtlle now has a Municipally run compost program and the end product or compost is scheduled for use in area parks and other programs calling for topsoil Consideration is being given by Oakvtlle to include the use of the compost materials as a requirement of some tenders For example if replacing sod is required by a contractor to com plcte some works then the corn post must be used either as a base material or top dressing The Town is stressing to area residents that their bagged materails be placed at the curb prior to a m the day of col lection Green garbage bags are acceptable however clear plastic would obviously make identifying the yard and garden waste much easier The bags will be split open by the refuse collec tors and disposed of as they can not be accepted at the Scott Farms compost site Composting along with the Blue Box program can divert almost 50 per cent of the refuse going to the curb from landfill The Provincial Government has set a per cent target for reduc tion by the year 2000 If will take new programs such as leaf and garden waste pick ups to make this goal a reality At the present time the Region of Halton is investigating putting Green bins at the transfer lions in the Region These bins would be for the disposal of all yard and garden waste and would be available for use by all residents of the municipality Some details remain to be ironed out and staff at the Region do not anticipate having the bins opened before next Spring ft THE HOTEL Main St S Georgetown
