County council wants deposit on whiskey, wine bottles
Huron County councillors have
called on the province to insist on a
refundable deposit on all bottles
sold by the Liquor Control Board
Outlets.
Lionel Wilder, Reeve of Hay
Township raised the issue after
noticing a letter received by the
county Waste Management Steer

ing Committee from Ontario Multi
Material Recycling Inc. (OMMRI)
The agency said it felt it could now
recycle over 70 per cent of contain
ers from LCBO stores and urged
councils to press the provincial
government to complete the Blue
Box network as a logical way of
recovering LCBO containers.
But Reeve Wilder felt this was
exactly the wrong direction to take.
Recycling wasn't going to slop all
the whiskey and wine bottles
thrown at signs and mail boxes on
rural roads, he said. A deposit on
bottles, however, would encourage
people to return the bottles and
even if they were tossed away,
somebody else would collect them
for the money. "Let’s get off our
butts and get the Ministry (of Envi
ronment) to get a deposit on the
bottles."
But Hulletl Reeve Tom Cunning
ham, who is chairman of the Rural
Section of the Ontario Municipal
Association (ROMA) warned it
•will be difficult to get the message
through to Ruth Grier the Minister
of Environment. After his associa
tion met with Mrs. Grier he felt
there is a lot of pressure on the
Minister from the glass industry
and from within her own ministry
to put LCBO containers through
the Blue Box program. Ministry
officials argue that taking the
Grey Township council
awards gravel tender
At the regular meeting of Grey
Township Council on June 3,
Council accepted the lender of R.
Farrish Const. (1989) for the load
ing and hauling of 5,000 cubic
yards "A" gravel and 25,000 yards
"B" gravel to the road reconstruc
tion of concession 5-6, lots 6-15.
The Farrish tender, amounting to
$37,824.50 was the lowest of nine
received. Construction is expected
to commence early in July and resi
dents in the vicinity are urged to
exercise caution during construc
tion.
Council passed a by-law autho
LCBO bottles out of the Blue Box
program wouldn't make recycling
as economically viable.
ROMA argued for a deposit, he
said but "She didn’t seem to be lis
tening real well." Reeve Cunning
ham argued that rural
municipalities should continue to
make the point that discarded
LCBO bottles are a problem in
rural areas.
Council passed the motion of
Reeve Wilder for the refundable
deposit but even he sounded doubt
ful it would work with the govern
ment. "It's so simple, it makes too
much sense (for government)" he
said.
