OFFICE SUPPLIES Georgetown Secretarial Services Threehour debate Pay equity town Halton sta with GTA By BEN DUMMETT The Herald Halton Region will continue to participate in Toronto Area GTA waste initiative Regional decided after a three hour debate Wednesday That means Halton will offer the use of part of its newlj found Milton landfill to other members They are Metropolitan Toronto and the Regions of Peel Durham and York The Milton landfill is- scheduled to in late 1992 or early 1993 But it primarily the disposal aspect the Solid Waste Interim Steering Cominittee members of local environment group Protect Our Water Environmental Resources POWER argued Wednesday why Halton should discontinue its involvement in SWISC SWISC first priority Is landfill st over next five years rPft and not diversion of waste argued POWER spokesman John warns He pointed to the fact that defines it s mandate at finding landfill sites as the first priority But it lists the implementation of a Rs program reduction reuse and recycling as the seventh priority out of a total of nine he said Mr Minns used a SWISC document to prove his point SWISC defines its mandate in two parts The first is to find a short term solution to the GTA garbage crisis with the focus on landfills members have to make available landfill space to the other members and the GTA will decide it will be used The short term lasts until The se cond part of the SWISC mandate is to find a long term solution to the garbage problem That means developing a 3 action plan But Mr Minns should only act as a facilitator of waste management information between the members It shouldn t be telling the municipalities what to do and not using the negative crisis idea to justify their options he said Chairman Peter speaking in support of Halton s participation highlighted that seven years ago Halton was look ing for a hole in the ground to dump its garbage It s a bit of de- javu isn tit dont like the flnTB the ayii that will only accept another if the municipality first into a St with the representatives all voted In favor of Halton s continued par in SWISC Halton Hills Regional Councillor Joe Hewitt argued continued participation for the time being will ensure that has a say in any decision made by SWISC This position was also supported by Mayor Miller MarByn Serjeanstoa Rick and Johnston But Coun Hewitt- said the key Is that if the Region supports con tinned participation we re not locked in That would only hap pen once Halton signed a legal document with the other members he said Chairman Pomeroy confirmed this and stressed no legal docu ment would be signed until approved the arrangement It would be at great peril to the Region to enter into a legal agree ment because the partners are not equal said the chairman Metro produces most of the GTA garbage and contributes the least to recycling he said But at the same time it s easy to criticise Toronto added the chairman POWER member Len Landry agreed with the chairman the OTA is an unequal partnership But unlike the chairman he saw that as reason for Halton not to be part of initiative Only when Metro can match Halton in terms of the 3 should consider becoming a member Of the be said Cur rently Toronto recycles four per cent of its waste while recycles per cent of waste But the councillors who sup ported participation said the reason that Halton is ahead of Toronto not because of foresight Its was facing its own garbage crisis in the lay i be gram will cost almost the five town IF King said the- yearly cost to plan will be
