The Citizen, 2009-06-25, Page 13Some Brussels residents may havestepped to their curb the morningafter recycling collection last weekto notice their bins not collected.A representative from Waste Management sent an e-mail to Huron East council outlining the problem; that there have been “major issues” with residents not complying to the two-stream recycling system that should seeglass and plastic grouped separatelyfrom paper and cardboard.Murray Kaye, from WasteManagement, admitted that the route’s previous driver did not adhere to the system either, leading councillor David Blaney to defend his recycling being left at the foot of his property at council’s June 16 meeting.Blaney said that he is accustomedto seeing his recycling all throwninto the same bin when it was beingcollected, so he saw no reason to separate the items under those circumstances. As a result, several pictures were included in the e-mail to council, showing pictures of bags and bins stuffed full of recyclable items allgrouped together, not separated, asthey should be.In addition to the mixing, Kayealso stated that there were a fair amount of contamination and non- recyclable items in the bins as well, such as pots, pans and even dishes. As of June 3, Waste Management began rejecting items and refusing tosort through bags and bins whichwere “extremely mixed.”In corresponding with CathyGarrick at Huron East, as well as clerk-administrator Jack McLachlan, Kaye asked if some literature could be prepared for the citizens of Brussels to refamiliarize them with the standard rules of recycling.
