Recycling won’t save money but it
will help prolong the use of the Grey
township waste disposal site and will
help save precious resources, Brad
Knight, clerk-treasurer of Grey
township told a gathering in Walton
Wednesday night to discuss recyc
ling.
Each tonne of newsprint recycled,
Mr. Knight told the audience in the
Walton W.I. Hall, saves 17 trees. In
its first shipment the Grey site,
(serving Grey, McKillop and part of
Morris) sent out four tonnes of
newsprint to be recycled.
The township receives only $25
per tonne for its recycled materials
and must pay mileage so money is
not being made but the township is
lookingatrecyclingas saving the
cost associated with using the
landfill site at a faster rate if
recycling isn’t used, he said. “Even
though it might seem we’re limited
(in what can be recycled), it will save
a lot (of volume),’’ Mr. Knight said.
The township feels recycling is an
ongoing educational program. Grey
Central Public School students are
having recycling classes and are
recycling waste paper from the
school. Although this fine paper
can’t be used in the township
program, the students are collecting
itinblue recycling boxes and it is
being sent to the Board of Education
offices in Clinton where it is being
recycled.
Recycling, Mr. Knightsaid, is just
a first step. Once more municipali
ties get involved in recycling he
hoped to see pressure put on
government and manufacturers to
produce more returnable containers
so that there would be a smaller
volume of garbage to deal with.
Grey township may be part of a
pilot project to test the use of blue
boxes in encouraging recycling in a
rural area, he said. The Ministry of
the Environment has approved the
project at a staff level but now it must
be approved by the Minister. It
would provide 100 per cent funding
to buy blue boxes. Normallyblue
boxes have been used only in areas
where there is door-to-door pickup of
garbage. Ethel and Cranbrook will
be getting the boxes but the project
will test the idea that if there are blue
boxes in people’s homes, they may
think more about recycling even
when they have to drive to the waste
disposal site.
He asked people to make sure they
kepttheglassseparatedfrom the
plastic containers and from the cans
and the newsprint. He outlined the
four areas of recycled products the
township can handle. Only plastic
popcontainerscan be recycled at
this point, he said. All other plastic
containers must stilLbe put in the
non-burnable garbage.
Cans.eitheraluminumor steel
containing food products can be
recycled as can glass jars and bottles
used for food products but items
such as window glass or light bulbs
can’t be included in glass for
recycling because it’s a different
kind of glass than bottle glass.
Newsprint can be recycled but
magazines and other shiny-surfaced
papers should be included in the
burnable garbage.
He asked people to compact their
garbage as much as possible, such as
flattening cans to give more weight
to the loads of recycled products.
