Free Press Staff Photo Garbage disposai is becoming a more important issue, Emm says garbage is going to important issue of the cording to Whitby Reg. Coun. Gerry Emm, Durham Regional Council la going to be faced with some pretty tough decisions. In an interview last week, Emm who also serves as chairman of regional council's public works committee, ad- vocated a three prong approach to the problem. Firstly. the region must become actively involved in a recycling program. While most of the southern municipalities are in- volved in such projects, Emm believes its im- portant for aIl eight members of the region to participate. While he admits that only about six per cent of the garbage generated by the homeowner, light in- dustry and business can be recycled, nonetheless it could prove to be an excellent revenue ear- ner for the region. Only materials such as paper, glass and metal can be recycled. "We have to start a region-wide recycling program as soon as possible," Emm said adding that much of the region's cost for establishing such a program could be saved by contracting it out to private industry. "Private entreprise should be involved. " The region should also look into getting in- volved in an energy form waste project. This kind of facility would burn waste and ABIUTrY FUND WORKING WTH PHYSICALLY ISABLED ADIJLTS for other purposes. But the political hot potato is going to be the development of a new land.fill site which Emm says the region may have to consider. The region currently dumps waste at the Metropolitan Toronto landfill site in Pickering, a facility that could be loat to them for any number of reasons including failing to reach a new agreement or Metro's failure to get approval for expansion. The Metro site currently accepts 65 per cent of the region's garbage. Emm says that the region is currently looking at three sites for a new landfill site although he was reluc- tant to name them. He said that a new site would have to be located on a 250-acre site and would prove to be an ex- pensive venture. Establishing a site that meets ail the standards laid down by the Ontario Ministry, of the En- vironment could coat as much as $3 million or more. "The major problemn is that you have to get a site that will be ap- proved by the Ministry of the Enviromnent and still protect the citizen," he said adding that while the old Whitby land.fill site could be re-opened temporarily lonly three years), it is too costly an option. Landfill sites, Emm added "la an environ- mental issue to which no one knows the whole an- swer.- However, he does ad- vocate using the latest available technology for garbage disposaI. "There ia no easy an- swer to the issue - but if we start working!on it, I believe we can lessen the impact on the citizen." Emm added.
