2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 5 1988 Community Memorial Hospital administrator David Brown accepts a $15,000 cheque from Hospital Aux- lllary president Elaine Buchanan. The money was raised by the Auxiliary and will be held In trust for the bullding fund for a new chronic care wing. The pres- entation was made at the annual meeting of the hos- pital board on June 22. Port Perry SU Na i It's now official! Durham Region is fast be- coming a leader in Ontario when it comes to recycling household garbage. That was the message that - came through loud and clear the afternoon of June 29 as the Dur- ham Recycling Centre on Garrard Road North in Whitby was offi- cially opened. The new facility, built with Durham and provincial tax dollars (about $700,000) has actually bee in operation for about four months, but last week the politi- cians and officials had their chance to sound the benefits of recycling. Durham West MPP Norah Stoner, one of the driving forces behind recycling. (and other envi- ronmental issues in Durham) not- ed the need to become a "conserve society." In Durham Region now there Fi ni I He are 85,000 of the "blue boxes" now in use for recycling house- hold trash such as newspapers, tin cans and glass bottles. The program just came to Scugog and Uxbidge early in June and is slated to get into Brock Township later this summer. Then, all eight municipalities in Durham will be part of the recy- cling program. Ms. Stoner told the gathering at the Centre last week that three per cent of trash destined for rapid- ly filling dumps is now being re- cycled. And the target is to hit 15 per cent. Not only does recycling make sense, she said, in extending the life of garbage dumps, it makes sense from an environmental point of view as well. For exam- ple, for every ton of newsprint re- cycled, 19 trees remain standing, SPONSORED BY THE SCUGOG CHAMBER OF COMMERCE JULY 14 15 «16 - 17, 1988 THURSDAY ¢ FRIDAY ¢ SATURDAY SUNDAY PANCAKE -- 8:30 A.M.

The Recycling Centre has a staff of 39 full time employees, a fleet of 11 trucks to pick up the blue boxes daily in all areas of Durham, and currently about 1200 metric tonnes each month is go- ing through for sorting, packaging and shipping. Tin cans are crushed and then squeezed into bales, Likewise with newspapers and glass. Although the Recycling Cen- tre now is running a deficit of some $400,000 annually (paid by the provincial Environment Mini- stry) there is a good chance it will eventually get into the black. | (Turn to page 10) Twilight meeting July 8 The Ontario County Holstein Club in association with the On- tario County Milk Committee is hosting a twilight meeting at Tel- edale Farms, Sunderland, this Fri- day July 8.
