Next week declared ‘Waste Reduction Week’ The Councils of the Township of Grey and McKillop, along with a number of other municipalities across the province have officially declared the week of Sept. 27 to Oct. 4 as “Waste Reduction Week”. The recycling program at the Walton Landfill Site has completed its fourth year of operations with an additional 54.97 tons of newsprint, glass bottles/jars and metal cans being diverted from the site. This brings the total amount of household waste being recycled over the past four years to 203.4 tons. In addition, the Walton Landfill Committee has made available to the residents of Grey and McKillop townships, home composters at a price of $20 each. The composters were first available this past spring and have been well received. Composting can reduce household waste by up to 30 per cent and the composters are an important component of the Committee's waste reduction program.
