Hazardous waste dumping set for spring | Tiny Township Council recently decided to help residents rid themselves of their household hazardous wastes. The two dates for day- long drop-off of paints, oils, gasolines and other hazar- dous household wastes are April 11 and 25, and are to be held in Wyebridge and Lafontaine. The council considered and passed a plan propos- ed by their consultant, Mike Pratt, from Proctor and Redfern, who has also been' assisting the township in its search for new landfill sites. Although Pratt recom- mended two weekends in May to attract vacationing cottagers, Deputy-reeve Dr. Peter Brasher said the pro- gram would be more effec- tive during spring and fall cleaning times. Council did not discuss whether there would be another session in the fall. Brasher added perhaps another day could be arranged to attract cottagers. The drop-off points for residents will be at the township's public works yards in those two com- munities. Pratt said holding them there would simplify insurance and legal matters. The lawmakers planned to hand out a flyer advising people what can be class- ed as hazardous household waste. Flyers will be in- serted in the tax bills. To start up the program, Council has had to authorize allocating up to $10,000 in the 1987-1988 budget to pay for the 50 per cent of program cost, although the township lawmakers are estimating half that would be closer to the actual cost. receive funding from the Ministry of the Environ- ment and would have to have location, dates, selec- tion of waste management company for classification, transportation and waste disposal approved. Pratt strongly advised the township to run the program because it would be an excellent public rela- tions tool. "We recommend that the municipality adminster the program, not so much for the cost savings, but because of the enlarged profile the Township will gain," Pratt wrote. "As well, it is an opportunity to build stronger ties with the public on the issue of waste . Week of Jan. 19 - 24 Wisk Laundry Detergent 11 Regular $3.48 The township would management in general."
