"A survey of 400 DSD members concluded that 119 types of packaging packaging have been eliminated completely, completely, representing a 26 per cent reduc- lion," Councillor Hannah told The Lions Club of Bowmanvillc has installed its new board of directors for the 1993-1994 term.

"Phase One went into effect and required that transport packaging used to deliver goods to retailers be returned to the manufacturers for reuse reuse or recycling. "Phase Two went into effect in April of 1992. It allowed consumers to leave shelf and display packaging in the stores. As you can well imagine imagine this brought a huge outcry from the retailers who did not want to bc- breakthrough for this type of waste." ' Compostables arc taken to composting composting areas for the process. Once the organic material is composted, it is screened and then sold for gardens, gardens, lawns, parks and oilier uses. Another breakthrough is the use of computer chips and computerized garbage trucks in a user-pay system, said Councillor Johnson. "An on-board computer weighs the amount of waste and registers the name and address of the owner Clarington Regional . of the container. The information is then transferred to the central computer computer bank, and the client or resident is. billed for the amount of waste automatically automatically under a user-pay system," system," he said. This system is similar to what is used for hydro and to a system currently currently being tried in Victoria,'British Columbia, Councillor Johnson noted. noted. Looking at the controversy over the use of bags instead of containers, containers, the Germans have decided after by Laura J. Richards A new waste management system system in Germany has helped reduce packaging waste by making manufacturers manufacturers accountable for creating and disposing of it through re-use and recycling. And some municipal councillors believe the Durham Region could learn from the German program. The Duales System Deutschland (DSD) was the topic of a presentation presentation made to the Municipality of Clarington Council on Monday night, July 12, a 10-ycar study that conuiincrs win hands down. "The study took into consideration consideration almost every element one could i imagine: Operational, ecological j and economic aspects and case studies studies in different parts of the country," said Councillor Hannah. • "The conclusion was, in the end, that containers were more economical, economical, safer, and more acceptable to the workers and public." Councillor Hannah said they admitted admitted the suirl up costs were "substantial" "substantial" so some municipalities, have partial systems with containers; and bags. With the recycling, reusing, reclaiming reclaiming and composting programs growing, Councillor Hannah said: "I see the future when landfills, as we know them, will be defunct." However, since that has not happened happened yet, Councillors Hannah and Johnson agreed that Durham Region and the Ontario government have much to learn from Germany's waste reduction projects. j Plan to Reclaim Highway Sand The provincial Ministry of Trans- This amount, states the report, Donation is about to embark on a new "would fairly represent the average project to re-claim the sand.which is annual amount of sand to be rccy- scattercd on the highways during the eled." , , winter. • "During the spring and early sum- The Ncwtonvillc Patrol Yard will mer, excess sand remaining on . the Material which is over-sized and non-hazardous will be taken to the Brock Road Landfill in Pickering.

The German government wants to see that 80 per cent of the packaging packaging material is collected and recycled recycled by July 1,1995. "This will amount to a landfill diversion diversion of between 64 to 72 per cent," said councillor Hannah. While much of die presentation looked at the packaging industry, there was also information about new containers being used to begin the composting process at home, with kitchen and garden waste. One of the slides showed a bucket bucket witlt a ventilated cover. "This is a newly designed container container for kitchen and garden waste," said Councillor Johnson.
