landfill sites will have to be Imposed within the next year unless the region finds someplace to dump gar bage That was the warning Director of Regional Works Bob Moore gave to Regional Council Wednesday Moore said workers at the region three landfill sites are now refusing to accept construc tion rubble and inert materials at the landfill sites as a result of a staff decision The decision was first put into effect April Moore said that decision has drawn the wrath from members of the public and construction firms who have depended on landfill sites as a place to dump rubble Moore was responding to a question put to him by Acton area Councillor Pat McKenzie McKemie said that he had received com plaints about garbage being refused at the dump and some garbage at households not bell g picked up Moore said the restriction was intended to refer only to private firms not municipal packers or individual residents But Moore said the time when restriction on householders would be necessary Is Just around the corner He said that some people collecting garbage hod misinterpreted the directive and had left some refuse In front of homes think we have that straightened out now Moore said Moore acknowledged restrictions will have to be Imposed on residential household waste as well He t speak in terms of specifics but said that each household would be restricted to putting out only a certain amount of garbage The prohibitions we have In effect are only the tip of the I afraid I just hate to think of the reaction we get from the public on that Moore dldn t attempt to hide his frustration as he described what he feels is a desperate situation for the region Frankly disap pointed think are fur ther away from having a landfill site now than we were two years ago What should be a simple public works problem has turned into a legal morass We arc into lengthy legal delays no matter which way we go Moore said the province had given the region the responsibility for solid waste management but the province had not given the regions the authority to deal with the problem He said there was a need for pressure to be brought on the province for amendments to provincial legislation that would make it easier to open landfill sites 11 the same old story of the pendulum swinging too far We needed laws to the minority groups now the lew Is being in terpreted so strictly that we can do anything for the majority We are into a difficult problem and few people realize how difficult it is Were getting nowhere this way Moore said with a definite trace of disgust and frustration in his voice In the case of the res trie lions that are now in place there was no advance notice Signs were posted and the first loads were refused Moore said there would be advertisements warning citizens of the restrictions before those restrictions on household grabage are posed Georgetown Councillor Roy Booth said he was fed up with the situation He said by refusing to accept waste the region is encouraging people to dump refuse in ravines and anywhere else they can find He claimed this was already being done in the middle of the night He noted that Georgetown had embarked on a program that featured the separation of garbage at source It bothers me greatly that we have to accept garbage from Acton and Milton when they haven even Implemented the same type of program That comment drew from Acton Coun Pat McKenzie McKenzie said Councillor Booth knows bloody well that the project in Georgetown la sponsored by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry chose Georgetown If it had chosen Milton or Acton It be working there as well Milton Councillor Jim Watson said he supported the Idea of homeowners separating their garbage at source and said he had en couraged a ban on the collec tion of bottles tins and papers earlier But he claimed Public Works Chairman Jack had sloughed the matter off The region had pegged all of Its hopes for a solution to the garbage problem on the success at the Site F in Milton But now officials are saying that because of delays they probably won have that site In time and they don know what to do with the dally mountains of garbage In the meantime People keep saying to me Mr Moore what la your alter native what Is your con plan Frankly Mr Moore doesn t have a con plan I know what we ore going to do Couch
