2, Orono Weekly lrimes, Wednesday, Deceniber 8, 1982 Seconid Cass Mai Registration Nurnber ON38 Published Every Wedesday at the office Of Publie9tion IS IT NOT NOWV TIME? ;The problemns Of waste disposai corne coser and dloser to home and even in this municipaiity there is consideration for a iow level nuclear waste area, the ex- pansion of a iandfill site and a growing cost factor for the Region with its waste disposai problems. Everyone is concerned in one fashion or another and more so when developments are proposed next door. N6thing is ever a problem if it is miles away and we tend to shrug off such matters as neyer coming to touch us. That is flot the case for waste disposai is everyone's problem and we ail contribute to the pro- blem. Counce. Hamre, when attending the recent meeting of the Clarke Committee of Constituents, ask- ed, "What are we doing as a community." Yes, what are we doing, other than stuffing gar- bage bags with our waste demanding more and more waste disposai sites and at a cost we must bear. As citizens we do flot cali upon our municipal councils and regional council to investigate other courses of action, especiaily in those of conservation and recyciing of garbage. Its flot easy but much can be donc to reduce the daily waste cycle in our home and in some communities the effort is being made. Market Place on CBC Sunday night outlined the action of some municipalities, their successes and their failures. Kitchener does enjoy one systcm 'where bot- ties, cans and paper are coliected for recycling and although it may not be thé ultimate in solutions at this timne it is a start. Here in the Town of Newcastle the garbage pick- up contract for the Village of Orono, and possibly a fur- ther extended arca wiil be let by the end of the ycar. It has been before counicil for at least a couple 'of month but with no consideration other than again stuffing the garbage bag with ail we have and dumping it out at the curb side. t may be too latte now ta cansider any change in this contract but the Town docs hav e the opportunity ta consider their own systcm of garbage collection which they carry out in Bowmanville. it possibiy will flot be easy but change has ta comne as landfill is flot the answer and under no cir- cumrstances wiil il be so. And miake nio mistake the individuai is going ta have to heip at their level. Counc. Taylor made mention of garbage disposai in his short address at the inaugurai meeting on Moïnday night ta which hesaid cansidertian must be given by this council. Taylor is right and at ieast the Town and ail other municipalities are going to have to show leadership in this growing problem. What was good in the sixties and seventies is out- dated to day.
