Garbage haulers in going to get a break at least It docsn look like It so far A grant to help keep costs down at the Hal ion Hills transfer station on Georgetown Armstrong Avenue was refused by regional councillors In a 13 to vote last week The transfer station Is where the town garbage is centrally collected before being compacted and hauled to the region landfill site in Burlington Although the proposal had the support of Hills regional Councillors Dave Whiting Mike Armstrong Jake Kulken and Mayor Miller Milton councillors and even a couple of regional councillors Burlington repre sentatives firmly In a block against he transfer grant Halton Hills regional Coun John McDonald was absent Private haulers who pick up garbage from the rural routes where there no municipal pickup and from Industrial and commercial customers are complaining that business Is down 30 per cent because of the high fee they have to pay for each tonne of garbage Ihey drop off at the transfer station That fee covers the operations of the Iransfcr station and haulage coats to the region only dump which is miles away In Burlington That not the only fee though that private haulers have to fork out They also have pay IS per tonne or garbage which Is the region tipping The lipping fee Is the cost charged by Ihe region to accept the garbage Into its landfill Together the region tipping fee and the transfer fee add up to per tonne of garbage year that to go up lo per tonne Tokeepupwiththesccosls private haulers have naturally had to increase their rates for garbage pickup something which has led lo a loss of customers Many former customers are just bringing their garbage lo the Armstrong Avenue transfer station themselves and getting rid of their Hills firms have extra costs garbage at no tost when il under pounds The companies say they are on the verge of going out of business and have asked the region for some financial aid Mayor Miller said private haulers don just pick up in Hills but also In Milton and which they bring to Georgetown transfer station They find It closer than going Burlington Burlington Coun Joan Little said she appreciated ihe dilemma of the increased costs being faced by haulers and suggested perhaps Hills and M Hon can share the cost of the grant until the issue of having a transfer station hat been resolved Hills has only transfer station in the region and Its future will be decided once the region determines its now landfill site year looking at fairness of the whole problem but I can see anything more unfair lhan what this is Liltlc said Now we re being asked to contribute per cent of the cost of carting this garbage to our municipality not Just to have store It but you re asking Burlington to also pay lake away the garbage In argument Mayor Miller said that Burlington councillors should consider that by using the transfer station in the north private haulers and Industries are keeping truck traffic bringing garbage down in Burlington Is II fair because the regional government hasonlyonelandflllsitetandit in Burlington Mayor Miller demanded In comparison with haulers in the region north Burlington haulers have a shorter drive to their garbage directly to the dump At the dump they only have to pay a tipping fee saving substantially on garbage collection Both the Mayors of Milton and Hills emphasized Ihat the onus of responsibility when it comes to dealing w in garbage Is on region not on the local municipalities Toronto Sunshine helped attract a steady low of customers to the grand opening of the
