Council, looking at the survey results during the March 28 meet- ing, found that 67.09 per cent of Belgrave residents approved of the plan while only 50 per cent of Bluevale occupants wanted pickup. A level of 52 per cent in favour had previously been set by council to determine if the program would be undertaken. Beginning April 5, Belgrave resi- dents will have curbside pickup, carried out by Carter Disposal of Wingham, at a cost of 51.30 per week per household to the town- ship. This price was guaranteed for three years. The pickup, which will include garbage weekly and recyclables bi- weekly (begins April 12), will be charged to the 19% tax bill at a rate of S60 per household. with prayer.

The difference in the charge will be offset by a recycling grant. The results of the survey in Bel- grave showed that 88 of 131 home and business owners were in favour of the program. When tenants were considered the approval rate rose higher. The only group with some opposition was the lot owners though approval was still very high. Owners of vacant lots will not be charged the $60 fee until a resi- dence is built on the property. Residents should place their waste in a tied garbage bag at the curb by 8:30 a.m. each Wednesday morning. Recyclables may be in a blue box or tied bag. Blue boxes and recycling infor- mation can be obtained from the municipal office. Large items, such as appliances or furniture, may still be taken to the Morris landfill site. Carter Disposal is also presently picking up garbage in Walton and will be asked to pick up recyclables for the same charge as was given to Bclgrave.
