Mr. MacDonald was furi- ous last Friday when he re- ceived a complaint about trash dumped along the Scugog- Oshawa boundary road, south of the snowmobile clubhouse. On inspecting the mess, he found about two tonnes of con- struction debris-old drywall, buckets of saw-dust, wood ends, and 40 tires- beside the road. Rooting through the trash, Mr. MacDonald and Ward 1 councillor Neil Hunter found scraps of paper with a person's name and phone number. He told council he called the number, confronted the in- dividual, and was told that a disposal company had been in- structed to get rid of the trash that came from a construction sitein East York. "I Jnesy it is cheaper to bring this stuff out to Scugog Township, throw it beside our roads, then it is to dis of it at a regular landfill," Mr. Mac- Donald said to council. Tipping fees at Metro and Durham landfills are now $97 per tonne, and getting rid of old tires costs $5 each. Mr. MacDonald estimates that it will cost about $2,000 to send a crew and a truck to clean 's Corner of 7A & Water St. G 985-7131 PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, July 10, 1990 -- 13 Scugog to get tough with garbage dumpers up the mess, haul it to a landfill and then pay the tipping fees. Members of council were angry that this kind of thing is happening more and more, and council agreed to Monday to start a court action against the person whose name was found on papers among the debris. aximum fine on convic- tion is $1,000, which in this case would not even the cost of the clean-up. However, members of coun- cil a that getting tough may be the only way to get tt message out that those who lit- ter Scugog's roads will be prose- cuted. "If we could get a couple of convictions that are well publi- cized, the message might get out," said Mr. MacDonald. On a related issue, the new part-time by law officer will also be devoting time to slapping tickets on vehicles parked ille- gally on Scugog roads.
