75th anniversary on Monday with an outdoor picnic, bringing
about 80 members from the seven surrounding institutes in the
district for the event. Zurich president Kay Hay (right) said that
while the institutes may npt be as strong as they once were, they
are still very active. With Hay is district president Marion Dougall
from the Hurondale Women's Institute.
Lucan considers private
waste, recycling system
LUCAN - Village council, were
taking a close look at their options
for garbage recycling programs last
week as the village sanitation con-
tractor visited council to present
his concept of a simple blue box
collection _system. -
Reeve Norm Steeper told council
it was appropriate to be examining
recycling/'possibilities in light of
an ongoing Middlesex County
study on recycling.
"From what I hear, we'll either
get enthusiastic about it, or we'll
be told to do it," said Steeper.
Private contractor Larry Lewis
explained to council a system us-
ing a divided trailer towed behind a
one -ton truck that could be used to
serve the needs of Lucan once a
week.
"It hopefully will be a one-man
operation," said Lewis, adding that
the $18,000 trailer and blue boxes
should -be bought by the munici-
pality to take advantage of govern-
ment grants. Hd would supply the
truck and labour to run the system.
"The -bag system would be really
nice," said Lewis, speaking of a re-
cycling idea arranged around sorting
recyclables into clear plastic bags,
but he noted the government only
supports blue box systems. •
Council did agree that demand for
recycling is strong at the public -
level.
"I met people from Lucan the
other week who were taking their
garbage into London to recycle it,"
said councillor Bryan Smith.
Recycling would cost Lucan
money, cautioned Lewis. The only
savings would be in reduced landfill
costs, and an increased landfill life.
:'It's a long-term investment,"
agreed Steeper, who said that Lewis'
estimate of $9,000 in yearly costs
to Tun the program were not unrea-
sonable.
"Even at the $9,000 we're getting
a bargain," said Steeper.
Lewis was not entirely enthusias-
tic about the program because he
said he expected to see many chang-
es come about in recycling attitudes
and techniques in the next few years
and was naturally cautious about -
-large .investments in early first -
generation sytems.
Council asked Lewis to contact
Biddulph Township about the pos-
sibility of sharing a single trailer
between the two municipalities be-
fore proceeding with further action.
Council were also informed that
this year's spring clean-up in Lucan
did not go as well as expected. •
. "This year at the special clean-up,
we found many people taking ad-
vantage of the system," said Lewis, ,
explaining his crews ended up haul-
ing away garages that had been torn
down, a pig feeder that was dumped
in town, and several piles of gar-
bage that weren't separated as re-
quimd.
"Have you got any solutions?"
asked Steeper, who wondered if a
fine should be imposed on viola-
tors.
"I think we have to publish some
better ground rules," said councillor
Tom McLaughlin.
This year's special clean-up cost
Lucan about $2,000.
