Council wants people convinced to sort garbage
Blyth council will ask Hullett
township council to participate in
an education program to get
residents of the two municipalities
to sort burnable from non-burn
able garbage for the Blyth-Hullett
landfill site.
Theissue was brought before
Blyth council at its March 8
meeting by Councillor William
Manning who said he had had
village residents speak to him
because they were concerned with
tagging on the garbage. “There
are a lot of people who don’t
understand what they can put in
their garbage bag,” he said. If the
program of sorting garbage is
going to work, he said, the council
is going to have to give people some
instruction.
Councillor Lloyd Sippel who is on
the joint committee overseeing the
landfill site for the two municipali
ties said that the letter that was
sentout in the village recently with
tax bills, accompanied by stickers
toput on the burnable garbage,
gave people all the necessary
information except what was con
sidered burnable garbage.
Reeve Albert Wasson wondered

returned from their second holiday
in Mexico. This year they chose
Acapulco where they enjoyed a 90
degree temperature without any
humidity and with sunshine every
day. A tour to the Sierra Mountains
proved a highlight, for here they
learned about the world’s biggest
silver mine at Taxco. Lois now
sports a Stirling silver finger ring
selected there. She says the only
thing difficult for her was to leave
the motel pool to catch the plane
home. “I almost left it too late,”
she admits.
