2 Tho Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc, August 10, 1988 I 1 Durham Region Makes Major Commitment to Recycling The Durham Region expects to recycle recycle 25 per cent of its garbage in an effort to reduce the mountain of trash which is entering landfill sites each year. Estimates indicate that Durham will produce over 280,000 tonnes of garbage this year alone and that amount is expected to climb to almost 370,000 tonnes by the year 2000. A commitment to recycling was one of several decisions reached recently recently after the 30-member regional council studied the conclusions of a report from MacLaren Engineering oh the future of waste disposal in the Durham Region. ... At their meeting in Whitby on Wednesday, July 27, regional council council also voted to consider the possibility possibility of incinerating part of the regional trash through an Energy From Waste (EFW) project. Estimates on the capital cost of implementing implementing an EFW scheme ranged from $45 million to $220 million, depending depending on the number of tonnes incinerated. incinerated. Paul Manley, of MacLaren Engineers, Engineers, said in a summary of his firm's report that it will take the Durham Durham Region an estimated four years to develop a new landfill site and an ;equal length of time to launch an energy energy from waste project. ; Regional council has voted to proceed proceed at once with a plan to expand its 'recycling program so that by the year 1993, approximately 25 per cent of all iwaste will be eliminated through re- duction/recycling/re-use. Durham staff will present a report this fall recommending ways in which the program of recycling can be expanded beyond the current blue box curbside collection. "Now is the time to move beyond the basic curbside system,' said Jack McGinnis, a second MacLaren engineer engineer who addressed regional council at the meeting. He added that the present recycling . system introduced over the past year is "a good foundation'. Projections indicate it will recycle about 14 per cent of residential trash this year or about four per cent of the overall waste. Future efforts will include expansion expansion of recyling efforts into the industrial industrial and commercial sector as well as the diversion of demolition and construction waste and the development development of a central composting facility for organic substances. Other possibilities include the expansion expansion of the existing recycling centre, centre, the addition of compactor trucks and addition of more collection vehicles vehicles to the existing fleet of recycling trucks. Although recycling is part of Durham's Durham's garbage disposal solution, Mr. McGinnis noted that it isn't an easy way out. In a review of the various options contained in the MacLaren Report, Mr. Manley noted that an Energy From Waste Facility would cost the Durham Region $42 per tonne of garbage garbage if it were operated in connection with a Metro landfill site. A landfill operation alone, without an incinerator would have a capital cost estimated at $21 million and could dispose of trash at a cost of about $25 per tonne. Mr. Manley said the development of an Energy From Waste incinerator incinerator could be operated by an independent independent business which would underwrite underwrite the capital costs. An incinerator could be located alongside a major industry such as General Motors to augment its energy supply. As an alternative, an incinerator incinerator could be used to generate electricity electricity and provide power to the hydro grid. Mr. Manley also told regional council that public input will be an important part of the equation. "They want to have their say,' he said in describing describing the approval process in which an incinerator or landfill site would be subject to review from an estimated estimated 28 agencies. A number of citizen groups were also represented at the July 27 meet- Paul Martin Jr. Attends BBQ From Page One dal. A large marouee had been obtained obtained to protect the guests from the ;harsh sunshine and a three man band provided loads of music to entertain entertain the crowd while they were ^munching on hot dogs, soft drinks and hamburgs. Mr. Grose, meanwhile, meanwhile, was circulating and talking to -potential voters who came from a wide area, because of the recently expanded expanded constituency. Mr. Martin focused his attention' jon the faulty integrity of Mr. Mulron- ey and his Conservative government, with special emphasis on the so- called free trade project that he criti cized in its present form as harmful to Canada. He agreed with Opposition leader John Turner's action in trying to have the Senate delay passing the bill in the hope that it would force the Tories to call an election on the issue to let the people say if they want this type of free trade or not. Mr. Grose, who introduced Mr. Martin, urged all mèmbers of the party party to riot only attend the nomination meeting in Port Perry this Thursday evening, but_chalt'enge,d them „toj oon- tinu^ active supp'prt during the 'election 'election (that probably will be coming within a few weeks.

The groups, including the Committee Committee of Clarke Constituents, were generally generally in support of recycling efforts. But they were somewhat concerned about the possibility of burning garbage garbage because of the question of whether whether or not an incinerator would release toxic ash into the atmosphere. They agreed with the necessity of public input throughout the approval process. Suzanne Elston, representing the GOOD (Garbage of Ontario Diminished) Diminished) Committee, urged council to take a more aggressive approach to recycling. "We appeal to you to be a little more ruthless,' she said. She asked the Durham Region to reduce residential and commercial waste by 50 per cent through recycling. "What we're learning is that everything we do is impacting on the environment. There's no such thing as safe garbage,' she said. Likewise, Durham's recycling effort effort was commended by Teri McKenzie McKenzie of the Committee of Clarke Constituents Constituents but the Energy From Waste alternatives were viewed with caution. caution. "The référencés to Energy from Waste alternatives in the report clearly require further investigation and consultation with the public before before further action is contemplated,' said The Committee of Clarke Constituents' Constituents' delegate. The Clarke group was also wary of a proposal which discussed the Laid- law Landfill Site as a potential location location of a regional landfill operation Results of Optimists Car Show and Shine The Bowmanville Optimist Optimist Club's second annual Show and Shine East car show was an overwhelming success on Sunday, featuring featuring 120 cars, more than double double the number in last year's show.

Although the Laidlaw operation was mentioned in the MacLaren report, report, Mr. Manley pointed out that the expansion of the privately-owned landfill site is currently the subject of environmental assessments. He noted noted that until such an assessment is done, it's not an option that the Durham Durham Region could consider. A third group, Pickering and Ajax Citizens Together for the Environment Environment (PACT) spoke of the need to create a Durham-only solution to the garbage crisis. They urged Durham not to support a site which would be managed in partnership with another municipality. David Strain also noted the need for public hearings. His group suggested suggested that before any of the long-term solutions are accepted, the Durham Region ought to hold public meetings in each area municipality to obtain input and to offer explanations. In addition to approving of recycling, recycling, the regional council voted to consider a number of landfill and Energy From Waste (EFW) options. They are as follows: A 2,000 tonne per day energy from waste project plus Metro landfill. 2,000 tonne per day energy from waste facility plus Metro asn only landfill. A 364 tonne per day energy from waste plant plus Durham Region only landfill. In addition, a Durham-only landfill landfill site was added to the long-range proposals by regional council. These long range plans were ultimately ultimately approved by regional council on a vote of 21-2. Read All About It!
