Halton Region is investigating an act of illegal dumping of one tonne of construction debris into a garbage bin behind an apartment building in Oakville. A resident living near the Crescent Court Apartments complex at 80 South Forster Park Dr. reported seeing an individual in a white cargo van dump construction materials into the bin Sunday night. "Four full garbage cans of drywall, wire, wood, etc., and six cinder blocks into the bin," the resident, who didn't wish to be named, wrote the Region in an e-mail that was copied to the Beaver. "This is a residential bin!!! ...Isn't it?" The Region's private contractor for garbage collection from Halton's apartments said the heavy material was picked up unknowingly Monday morning. After receiving a call from The Oakville Beaver, Buster Battams, a spokesperson for Advantage Waste Systems, checked the company's logs, which use onboard GPS and computerized weigh scales to record how much material was picked up at individual locations, so it knows how much to charge Halton Region. "I saw there was a huge weight on that one," Battams said of the waste bin located behind the Crescent Courts Apartments, at the corner of Carolyn Drive. Generally, an apartment's residential bin has up to 400 kilograms of garbage inside, but the apartment building's had 1,400 kilograms ­ a full tonne more than normal, said Battams. He said he checked the records for that location for the past month and did not notice any similar discrepancies in that time.
