To consider increase in garbage dumping The Region of Durham waste management committee will consider consider an increase in tipping fees at their dumps which would take effect effect May 1st. It is suggested that fees go up $2.00 per 24 kilograms or to $83.33 per tonne. These are similar charges that have been approved by Metro for the Brock West site. Under the proposal Durham would still allow free dumping once a day for a vehcile and load of less than 3000 kilograms. In the meantime Durham is still negotiating with Metro over rebates from the increased tipping fee for area municipalities.

With the increase to 83.33 the Region is seeking seeking a larger rebate. Library board places budget at $626,486 The Town of Newcastle Library Board has given approval to a $626,486 budget for 1989.
