Representatives from most of the membership municipalities met at the Oakwood Inn share information and learn of- new recycling pilot projects for the new year. Francis Veilleux, president of the association, explained that 1992 enjoyed significant changes. Last May a recycling program was put in place at local provincial parks including the Pinery. In August a recycling awareness campaign was introduced to the schools through a variety of posters. The following month a paint exchange program was initiated in Goderich, Clinton and Hensell in which people brought in used paint to be separat- ed and disposed, of or returned for use. September also marked the beginning of magazine collection in all municipalities, as well as cardboard and boxboard collection in Ailsa Craig, Parkhill and Ste- phen Township. Veilleux explained that those three members were chosen in or- der to establish an example of the volume of cardboard and boxboard that could be collected. "Cardboard and boxboard will be officially collected from all munici- palities beginning in the spring," said Veilleux.

The chip product from the tree is either left on the site for mulch or garden enhancement, or offered to landscaping companies. For this year, Bluewater has sev- eral new programs and initiatives designed to generate recycling awareness and establish a 50 per- cent reduction goalset by the pro- vincial government..�l In conjunction with the Ministry of the Environment, Bluewater is kicking off a composting project in April. Veilleux explains that the project has been developed to achieve an 80 percent backyard composting rate. In order to 'do this, he said that door-to-door sur- veys will be conducted in selected areas. "In Goderich we will do surveys to see who is composting. We will also distribute educational literature which will address concerns and outline the correct way of compost- ing," he said, adding that compos- ters will be more. accessible through retailers and town halls. Veilleux said that Blanchard and Usbome Townships will also be subject to the surveys; however sur- veyors will have the composters on hand fordemonstrations and imme- diate sale: Another issue raised at the meet- ing for attention.this year is that of junk mail. Veilleux said that it has been a concern of Bluewater for several years. He explained that there is not recycling facilities -in place in post offices. When people collect their mail from the post of- fice, they often discard their un- wanted "junk mail", which is often recyclable, in the garbage. "There are stickers to put in your mailbox to indicate that you do not want junk mail; however Canada Post has a policy not to honour these stickers they honour the ad- vertisers. Some are honouring the stickers, some are not. Technically they are not," said Veilleux. He explained Mat there have been offers to:thg¢t:offi�mes in the area to honour the stickers or offer recy- cling-Services clieg bin as an + - way Bluewater is etilleob10101.110+r recycling service. "So far the respnttse oto The 2 has been positive; however will not cc>`operate. That's when we use `plan " he said, tot di- vulging the details. According to Veilleux, member- ship to the Bluewater Recycling Association is continuously grow- ing with the addition of new munic- ipalities. -He views the collection of cardboard and boxboard along with an increase in composting as significant in reaching waste reduc- tion goals set by thb government. The provincial government current- ly provides 33 percent of the grants necessary to maintain the recycling programs. "In 1988, the government set a goal of 25 percent waste diversion by 1992 and 50 percent by the year 2000. So far we have surpassed the first goal. In some areas, we're up to 38 percent and 1 predict we will reach SO percent waste reduction by 1995," Veilleux stated. • 1 1 1 SATELL IIE W 1 1 1 AT .
