"He basically encouraged the

The opening of the facilities,

Southampton landfill site, took
place in front of a large crowd
which came for the opening. The

Meet the blue box main

When politicians spoke at the
opening of the Bruce Area
• Recycling facility on Saturday,
they stood on now -familiar "blue
boxes."
Before 1983 they wouldn't
have been able to do that. It was
at that time the "Grandfather of
Recycling," Nyle Ludolph took
an idea to the city council of
Kitchener.
"We had to beg the council to
give them that program for
nothing," said the blue box
pioneer, who attended Saturday's
opening. "I don't think any other
council would have been dif-
ferent,"
ifferent,"
The idea was just too new and
to different, he said. Now there
are 2,000.000 blue boxes in
Ontario and another 360,000 in
the rest of Canada. Countriesall
over the world are trying to copy
the system and the blue box has
been recognized by the environ-
mental committee of the United
Nations.
In Los Angeles, a "yellow
box" was introduced because.
"Blue" and `Red" gangs mark
their territory using colours.
"On the European continent
it's recognized, as probably a
better system than they have,"
said Ludolph.
When Ludotph's blue box was
first introduced, however, it was
made of a cardboard material.
The blue box was developed by
Ludolph, who worked for Laid-
law Waste Systems, and
Resource Integration Systems. of
