Kevin Clayton, who lives on Harmony Road north of the Raglan Road, says his rural neighborhood is a popular dumping ground for everything from shingles to old appliances tooutdated election signs. "There's just no end to it," he told the Star. Mr. Clayton held an im- promptu press conference on Thursday morning to express his concern to members of the media. Earlier that week, Mr. Clay- ton noticed 21 barrels had been dumped on the side of the road about 1 1/2 miles from his home. The steel drums were dumped on both sides of the road on separate occasions. Mr. Clayton noticed seven barrels on the west side of the road on Monday, Sept. 2. Two days lat- er, 14 more barrels had been dumped on the east side. Upon closer observation, he Forder-Parks Insurance Brokers Inc.

"Try not to breathe too heavy over here," he told reporters, adding he was getting a head- ache from the fumes. Although most of the labels had been removed from the bar- rels, Mr. Clayton was able to read some of the warnings list- ed. They included: toxic, flam- mable, may cause eye irrita- tion, may cause breathing problems, handle around open air, and avoid contact with skin. "You have to catch them (the offenders) in the act," Mr. Clay- ton said, adding that the police can't do anything about illegal dumping. "They tell you it's a waste of time. The only way to alleviate the problem is to lower the $150-a- tonne tipping fee at the Brock West landfill site, he says. Dis- posing waste on secluded side- roads will continue until the fee is lowered. "If a guy gets paid $75 for a job and he's going to have to pay $45 at the dump, well it's mon- ey in his pocket (if the waste is disposed of illegally)," he says. Waste site selection process gets mixed reactions From Page 1 the public has been part of the process at this early stage," he said. "We hope people will be involved throughout the pro- cess." Mr. Steele acknowledged there is some opposition to the process of choosing a'landfill site. "Zero Garbage doesn't want garbage anywhere," he said. "But we've been given a man- date to find a site..." He added the IWA will use the data compiled by the previ- ous landfill study conducted by the region, "but we may have different criteria, so we may not come to the same conclu- sions." Erv McIntyre, IWA's general manager, told the Port Perry Star earlier in the day the study group will deal with the suggestions they receive from the open houses after they have concluded. Next week, the IWA will hold a series of workshops, he said, which will offer interest- ed residents an in-depth look at the site selection criteria. "We will try to put some weightings to them," he ex- plained. "We need to decide which criteria are more impor- tant and which are less impor- tant." Open houses will be held in Oshawa, Whitby and Bowman- ville this week, and then the workshops are set for Sept. 17, 19 and 21.
