Wastewise asked for the town’s support last fall. Four of their requests were rejected while the fifth—town collection of blue box materials at Wastewise—was re- confirmed. However, blue box col- lection “was terminated January 25 Ya Gotta Have Hearts... We've Got Miles and Miles of Hearts! Love is not something predictable.. It is unique and unusual and everchanging.

The petition asks council to reconsider the five requests. Wastewise wants town collection of blue box materials reinstated. It also wants the town to: collect glass and ceramics from the recycling centre and deliver it to an aggregate com- pany for re-use; provide and install signs promoting Wastewise at the key access points to Acton and Georgetown; make a $1,000 contri- bution for a neighborhood compost- ing program; and hire representa- tives from Students for the » Environment to effectively promote backyard composting. “The total estimated costs of these requests is a one-time cost of $2,000 and $115 per month for ser- vice costs,” van de Valk told coun- Collection of blue box materials at Wastewise was curtailed by the town because a region-wide blue box collection system was intro- duced early this month. Laidlaw Waste Systems Limited of Burlington has the contract to col- lect recyclables at houses through- out Halton. However, as a result of the contract, several non-residential stops have been eliminated. Among these are Wastewise, Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital and the Civic Centre. Van de Valk argued that single- tier waste management, proposed by Halton Region, isn’t the best approach to handling waste generat- ed by Halton Hills. “Because the vast majority of the (Halton’s) garbage is generated by our highly urbanized areas to the south, Burlington and Oakville, it stands to reason that waste management sys- tems will be developed around their needs,” she said. Halton Hills con- tributes about 10 per cent of the total waste generated by the region, council was told. Advocating a more centralized approach to waste management which would fit the needs of Halton Hills residents, van de Valk said the town has an opportunity to work with Wastewise in innovative and effective waste management. “Our strong rural/urban mix is well suited to a system developed on the basis of the same principles as Wastewise...; keep it local and keep it low-tech.” To emphasize the merits of her argument, van de Valk related the consequences of a recent regional council decision to discontinue funding support for the Leferink container station in Georgetown. Because of the regional decision, rural residents of Halton Hills must either pay $1.50 for each garbage bag dropped off at the local station or transport their waste to the Milton landfill where it can be dis- posed of at no cost. Up until Jan. 1 of this year, urban taxpayers absorbed costs, allowing rural resi- dents to drop off their garbage at Leferink’s, at no cost. “Ending (free) container services provided by Leferink will likely be followed by curbside collection of Wastewise offers “partnership” to town garbage for rural residents, resulting in an unwanted and considerable increase in property tax,” she said. Van de Valk also suggested that the town will benefit, in economic terms, if it works with Wastewise to become “a leader in resource man- agement.” There has been $506,000 of direct economic spin-off for Halton Hills as a direct result of the operation of Wastewise over the past two years, she noted. Councillor Marilyn Serjeantson said the region has recycling igloos at the Halton Hills works yard on Trafalgar Road. Residents can drop off their recyclables there, at no cost, she said. Serjeantson asked van de Valk to comment about why that system wouldn’t work. Visitors to Wastewise like to leave their recyclables there because the centre offers “one-stop shop- ping,” van de Valk replied. Many of the items left at Wastewise can be re-used and are sold at modest prices to area residents. When Leferink was handling rural garbage at no cost, rural residents found it convenient to take their recyclables to Wastewise and then go down the road and dispose of their garbage at Leferink’s, she said. Having different locations around town where recyclables can be dropped off can be “cumbersome,” van de Valk argued. Serjeantson suggested that van de Valk draw up a formal proposal about the proposed partnership between the town and Wastewise. Councillor Norm Elliott said it might be possible to move the igloos from the Trafalgar Road works yard to Wastewise, but town engineer Bob Austin suggested that might cause confusion because the works yard has served as a drop-off for recyclables for the past seven or eight years. Last week, council supported a recommendation that regional coun- cil reconsider its decision and rein- state the collection of recyclables at Wastewise and Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital.
