Brussels recycling success in first week Brussels recycling program be­ gan with a bang last Wednesday as Don Carter of Carter’s Waste Disposal reports that 1,990 lbs. of recyclable materials was picked up in the village. When Mr. Carter submitted his bid to Council earlier this year, he estimated that he expected only a couple hundred pounds of material would be picked up. Another tender had estimated 1,100 pounds a week. Deputy Clerk-Treasurer Donna White was pleased with the re­ sponse to the program especially considering she was aware of many who had missed the date. She said that several people were uncertain of when they were really to begin setting out and hadn’t noticed any of the plastic bags on her way to work.
