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.
