B10 The Acton Free Press Wednesday Oct Dump due for burnoff states village secretary CONCERNED citizen was alarmed to find a garbage dump directly behind Old Quarry Road by Kerry Chalmers Village Secretary Hockey stated In a telephone Interview Tuesday afternoon that the land referred to in the letter on this page is In fact a landfill lite used for organic dumping by the village and that the present policy of Village Trustees dictates that this dumping will continue The University of Waterloo was deeded 17 acres of land adjoining the conservation area by Domtar Industries some time ago and the village made arrangements at that time to rent the portion of land the village had been using as a dump for years There is a village by law governing the use of the dump prohibiting indiscriminate dumping and restricting dumping to organic material only no glass plastic metal etc is allowed Unfortunately people abuse the by law even though the gate Is locked at all times and the key must be obtained from either Village Foreman Charlie Glcndenning or Mr Hockey Loads are checked but If by chance an Infringe ment law occurs the trustees can demand that the person responsible remove the material It Is Impossible for us to post a guard at the dump Mr Hockey explained though we are aware that people arc littering the area with unsuitable garbage There Is a problem at the Guelph dump as well he added People leave their garbage along the roadside when they find the gates locked He asks people report such vandalism to the village office if they witness it Periodically when the foreman feels It Is necessary the garbage is burned off under the supervision of the fire department The problem recently has been the rain making such a pro cedure Impossible This will happen as soon as weather permits assures Mr Hockey The trustees have main this landfill site for the use of taxpayers because they feel It provides a necessary service They contend that It Is impossible for many residents to easily get into Guelph without renting a truck or trailer and that the regular pick up is not geared to handle large items Many people doing house repairs or clearing of under brush have found this dump an excellent thing com mented the secretary If residents do find the dump objectionable and would like lo register a for mal complaint Mr Hockey asks them to contact the vil lagc office and arrange to attend a meeting Letter Horrified by dump Mrs Chalmers Yesterday I walked my dog across the beautiful property directly behind Old Quarry Road that adjoins the Rockwood Conservation Park I was horrified to find that It is being used as a garbage dump I thought dumping here was no longer allowed Surely other residents are not happy with the situation We
