MOTION REFERRED A motion from the Mid -Huron Landfill Site Board, recommending recycling by users. ,s:of the site, was referred by Seafort`h Town Council to its Finance and General Government Committee for fur= then study. The landfill site board recommended that each municipality using the Mid - Huron Landfill Site be required to recy- cle, and use either a Class 1, 2, or 4 system, and preferrably a Class 1 system through Bluewater Recycling as Bluewater Recylcing appears to be the most economical. The board has asked that member municipalities advise it of its intentions by June 1, 1990. Seaforth Council expressed some con- cern over the recommendation, since it had not budgeted for a recycling expense in 1990. The Finance and General. Government Committee is to investigate the cost implication and different alter- natives availablle to the town.
