4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 20, 1974 WATTS FROM WASTE Toronto garbage collected in some routine pickups will be going back into homes and businesses in a new form - electrical energy in late '76 or early '77. During a two-year pilot study, Ontario Hydro will be burning 500 tons of processed garbage a day in one unit at Lakeview generating station in Mississauga. Separation of combustible material from re- usable glass and metal and other non-burning content will be handled at an $11.5 million Metro- politan Toronto owned plant being built near Toronto International Airport. The pulverized result will be trucked 10 miles to Lakeview, where Hydro will keep detailed financial and operating records to determine the net value of pro- cessed waste as fuel. Modifications to Lakeview costing $3.5 million are expected to be covered by the provincial government, which will also contribute $1.5 million to the separation plant. A Watts from Waste study team bas predicted that the station could ultimately burn about 10% of Toronto's garbage, which now amounts to 1.6 million tons a 'vear.
