Wawanosh begins recycling The Township of West Wawa nosh has become the first munici pality in the area to begin re-cycling its garbage, with the installation last Saturday of a huge bin at its landfill site just south of County Road 20. “I’d like to think that we are the first (township) to have a re-cycling bin on site, even though several other places have entered into the first stages (of getting bins),’’ said West Wawanosh councillor Rhea Hamilton-Seeger of RR3, Auburn. Mrs. Hamilton-Seeger has been one of the township's strongest advocates of waste re-cycling, and was the prime mover in getting her council to approve the project nearly a year ago. “People have been generally pretty enthusiastic about it,” she says, adding that several families she knows have been ‘ ‘saving up” their re-cyclable trash at home pending the arrival of the bin. She also says that the township ’s landfill site supervisor. Bob Mc Allister, is a strong supporter of the new project, with an attitude that will go a long way towards making it a success. People have already begun using the new container, which is divided into two compartments, one for newsprint and one for glass and household tin combined. Originally, tinandglasswereto have been separated before de posit, butaccordingto the bin’s supplier, McLellan Disposal Ser vices Ltd. of MountForest, this method took too long to fill the bins at most rural dumpsites, so the policy was changed and a method devised to separate the materials at a later time. West Wawanoshrents the re cycling bin from McLellan Dispo sal for $65 per month, and has had Ministry of the Environment ap- provalfor agranttocover50 per cent of the program’s costs (i.e., the bin rental) for the first year, 40 per cent for the second year and so on until the township is fully supporting the program by the end of the fifth year. By thatftime, Mrs. Hamilton- Seeger says, dumpsite users should be well enough educated in the procedure that the township will recoup the ongoing cost of the projectby selling the separated trash back to McLellan at so much per ton. Mrs. Hamilton-Seeger says that information cards explaining the new re-cycling procedure will be mailed soon to all township landfill site users, while tags are being printed so people in Auburn can separate their garbage into burn able and non-burnable materials. Chamney Sanitation of Auburn conducts door-to-door garbage pick-up in Auburn, which is then transported to the West Wawa nosh landfill site for six months of the year, while the other six months is split between the Hullett and East Wawanosh sites. Beef farmers get stabilization Beef farmers will get stabiliza tion cheques in September cover ing the second quarter of this year, but there will be none for hog farmers, the Agriculture Stabiliza tion Board announced last week. The payment for slaughter cattle will be $42.45 per head, or a total of about $11 million, because prices fell $3.81 per hundredweight short of the support level of $84.91. There’sjio payment for feeder cattle because the price averaged $96.31 while the support level was $94.69, or for hogs because the price averaged $147.41 while the support level was $145.04 per 100 kilograms.
