Scugog launches recycling igloos By Gillian Barfoot Scugog Township officially launched its recycling igloo program on Thursday. The igloos, which have been in use in the township since early summer, have been spon- sored by several businesses, said Mayor Howard Hall. "This is the first opportunity for business and municipal gov- ernment to work together to support recycling." Igloo recycling stations in Scugog are sponsored by G.M. Sernas and Associates Ltd., Goreski Summer Resort, Team Recycling Systems, Inc., and Techstar Plastics Inc. They are found at the Cartwright and Scugog Transfer Stations, Go- reski Summer Resort, and be- hind the township's municipal office in Port Perry. They are designed to supple- ment the current blue box pro- gram, which is available only in urban areas. It would be too costly to ex- tend the blue box program, said Mayor Hall, so the igloos are "a good way to have the ru- ral people involved in recy- cling." So far the igloo program is successful, he said. "They are well used on a consistent ba- sis. The igloos also ensure "those in apartment buildings have access to recycling," added Re- gional Councillor Yvonne Christie, who is a member of the region's waste reduction committee. She said the idea for the re- oyling, igloos was imported from Europe by a group of rep- resentatives from the region who visited Europe to examine their methods of reusing and recycling waste. "The people in Europe are much neater," she said, ex- plaining that several Scugog residents have been leaving their bags and recyclable mate- rials outside the igloos instead of taking the time to separate and deposit the materials in the igloos. Mayor Hall agreed there is a problem with those "irresponsi- ble people who won't take the time to Separate their goods." He said the township may "have to hire someone to keep the igloo sites cleaned up on a daily basis, otherwise "if one person sees a bag left on the ground, then others will think it's OK to leave theirs, too." Scugog would like to have more igloos, but they would have to be in a public area where they could be looked af- ter and provide easy access for the large truck which empties them, he said. There are three blue-box- colored igloos at each recycling station, and they will accept newspapers, food and beverage cans, glass containers, plastic soft drink containers and household batteries for recy- cling. Some people object to the small openings in the igloos, said Councillor Christie, but suggested that perhaps it will encourage them to reconsider where their money goes. The region's blue box pro- gram costs $256 per ton, she said. : Although it is too soon to es- timate the cost of the igloo pro- gram, it's much less expensive or rural areas than extending the blue box program, ex- plained Sue Campbell, recy- cling operations supervisor at Durham Recycling. "It's also cheaper to have an igloo to service an urban area than driving a truck up and down the street," she added. Already there are 43 igloo re- cycling stations in Durham Re- gion, and the tonnage collected rom the igloos is steadily in- creasing, from approximately 356 tons in mid-August to al- most 45 tons in mid- September, she said. "It just shows that every- body wants to recycle." "Reusing is less expensive than recycling, and reducing is even better," Councillor Chris- tie added. "And we'd have 33 per cent less garbage if everyone com- posted."
