Recycling market buildingzspeaker
The growth of recycling pro
grams is already bringing changes
in the investment scene in Ontario,
the operator of one of Ontario’s
most successful recycling programs
told the Huron County Municipal
Officers association in Blyth Fri
day.
Don Taylor, Recycling Co-ordi-
nator for the County of Wellington
told the assembled Reeves, Coun
cillors and municipal staffs that
recycling will probably create more
jobs than are lost because of some
products losing their markets. Al
though there has been a problem
with a surplus of recyclable materi
als compared to processors to
handle it he predicted there would
be a lot of investment going into
processing in the next while.
Already there is a new paper mill
being built at Thorold to handle
recycled newsprint, he said. Every
recycled tonne of newsprint saves
17 to 19 trees, he said.
Some people thought recycling
was a passing fancy and entrepre
neurs were leery about investing in
facilities but now they know recyc
ling is here to stay and so will be
willing to invest he predicted.
Mr. Taylor resigned his position
as a municipal councillor to become
co-ordinator of recycling in Well
ington. That year five municipali
ties were facing the closure of the
landfill site they jointly used and
got scared, he recalled. The five
began to look at recycling, realized
they didn’t have enough recyclable
material to keep a crew working for
a week or so sold the idea to three
other municipalities. But then a-
nother wanted in and eventually 11
more asked to join. By this June all
21 municipalities in Wellington will
have joined the Wellington Recyc
ling Group.
“A lot of people said it would not
work,” he recalled. People said it
would be impossible to get 21
municipalities to sign one piece of
paper and, he admitted, getting the
agreement signed was the toughest
part of the job. But this is the first
intermunicipal program I’ve been
involved in where there was har-

Winona Thompson, clerk-trea
surer of East Wawanosh Township
was named president of the Huron
County Municipal Officers Associa
tion at the group’s annual meeting
in Blyth Friday.
She succeeds Nancy Michie,
clerk-treasurer of Morris township.
Named first vice-president was Bill
mony,” he said.
Each municipality pays on a per
capita basis. In the second year the
cost of $1.37 per person to each
municipality but the new North
Wellington group will be charing
only $1.02 per capita. Recycling, he
said, will never pay for itself but it
is important because it makes
environmentally good sense, and
reduces the volume of material
going into landfill sites.
‘‘Your landfill site is the most
expensive piece of property in your
municipality,” he told the group.
‘‘If you’ve got one, please respect
it.” He pointed out only two new
licenced landfill sites had opened in
Ontario in the last five years while
dozens had closed. “Everybody is
generating garbage but nobody
wants to take it.”
Vanstone, Reeve of Colbome and
Albert Wasson, Reeve of Blyth was
named second vice-president. Dir
ectors are James Crocker, clerk
treasurer of Seaforth; James
Robinson, Reeve of Hensail and
Murray Keys, Dept. Reeve of Hay
township. Secretary-Treasurer is
Bill Hanly, administrator of Huron
County.
