The basic reason for the meeting, which was sponsored by the Walton WI, was to make the public more aware of recycling, and what can and can't be done. Since August 20 the Walton landfill site has had a 50 cubic yard bin in operation, and on October 18 the first shipment of materials was made. The bin handled a total of 7.14 tons of material: 4.6 tons of paper, 1.8 tons of glass, and .75 tons of tin. It was noted that the first shipment was not a profitable ven- ture - and costs and profits were even before the attendants wages were paid. But ways were discussed of bringing in more of the materials which recycling contractors find valuable. Brad Knight, Clerk -Treasurer of the Township of Grey, was one of the speakers urging the public to participate in the recycling program at the Walton landfill site, and he had the answers about what could be recycled and what couldn't. Newspapers can be taken, but not plastics, magazine, logues nr telephone books. r ; in bundles or pla, , I Household tin such . nuld be lied it bags 1,1 beverage cans are recyclable 1 ',ens are preferred rinsed out Household bottles andars, but not win- dow panes, light bulbs, chin 3 or ceramics, are usable. They are also preferred washed out and without lids, but labels may ,e left on. Plastic soft drink container . l rscd without their lids, and flattened as much as possible. What is done with the material, as well as the economic impacts recycling can have were also discussed. For instance, it was noted that recycling one ton of newspapers saves 17 trees. It also takes less energy to manufacture paper from waste paper than trees. Every ton of recycled steel cans saves 1.5 tons of iron ore and the energy equivalent of 3.6 barrels of oil. The organizers of this public meeting hoped to impress upon those approximately 20 people present that the success of the recycling program in Walton depends upon THE HURON EXPOSITOR, NOVEMBER 2, 1988 — 7A Visiting with Marjorie Ryan were hus- band Laurence, daughter Sister Teresa Ryan and Joan, Elaine and Grant McDonald.

The meeting was held to inform the public about what is being done and what can be done with recycling in Grey, McKillop, and Morris townships, and was sponsored by the Walton Women's Institute. Corbett photo. RECYCLING 1 IS SMART: PLEASE DO YOUR PART Full Length Borg Lined ALL WEATHER COATS STARTING AT the public's response. To inspire a positive response, Mr. Knight says a blue box pro- gram will soon be going into effect in Grey t rmship. The blue boxes are made of heavy plastic and are used for the storage of recyclable materials. At first the blue boxes will serve mainly as a constant reminder, but eventually it is hoped the blue box program may lead to curbside pickup, like that in more populous municipalities. "We have to make the program as conve- nient as possible for a good response," says Mr. Knight. Recycling education is also an ongoing endeavor, and it was noted there have been meetings with teachers to promote recycl- ing in schools, and to- get blue boxes in schools so students can actually become in- volved in the recycling of fine paper which is used in schools. Those members of the public who did at- tend the meeting were interested in what items couldn't be recycled, and these includ- ed white plastic containers such as those that yogurt or margarine come in, diapers, and plastic chemical containers. "But even though it may seem we are limited, and we are at the present time, the items we can recycle will save quite a bit," remarked Mr. Knight. The program is on a voluntary basis, and Mr. Knight says there is about 15 to 20 per cent participation at the Walton landfill site. But organizers are generally happy with the volumes of recyclable material being gathered. It was noted that in other townships there are by-laws to enforce man- datory participation the program, and there is 95 per cent participation there. Mr. Knight says recycling is just starting to catch on, but Grey and McKillop should keep their progressive attitude concerning their program, because their landfill site is small. In the year 2005 the site will possibly close. Huron County deer season approaching With last year's mild winter the Ministry of, Natural Resources is expecting another record deer harvest in Wildlife Manage- ment Unit 85 - which includes all of Huron County and Minto Township. Almost 350 deer were taken in 1987 by about 1,200 hunters, and it is anticipated that 1,500 hunters will participate in the November 7 to -10 season in 1988. Because Huron County falls into a controlled hunting HURON SUPERIOR MEMORIALS area, inose expecting to hunt here must have one of the 1,125 license tags made available in August. Only those with 50 acres or more of land, or farmers, can still apply for the special tags. Hunters are also reminded the check sta- tions for the controlled hunt will be operated by the Ministry at different times than in the past. This year's schedule is as follows: Wingham District Office - Monday, Tues- day, Wednesday 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday noon to 8 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area - Mon- day, Tuesday, Wednesday 4 to 8 p.m. and Thursday noon to 8 p.m. Zurich (Minderlein's residence) - Monday not open.
