The short answer is the Association does not accept all plastic containers
because our markets don't. Plastic containers are the newest commodity
to be recycled and the most difficult to understand. They are the newr-a
because the plastic recycling industry in only a couple of decades 01
while the paper and metal recycling industry has been around for
centuries. They are the most difficult because of the wide variety of
plastic types available and their incompatibilities.
In the late 1980's there were over 46,000 different types of plastics with
that number growing everyday as researchers discovered new ways to
make plastics or additives to give them new properties. For that reason
alone the plastic industry developed a coding system that identifies which
type of plastic a container may be made of. The system uses the numbers
1 through 7 inside of a mobius loop (recycling symbol) to identify the six
main types of plastic with number 7 being all others (catch all). The
coding system is very useful in identifying the type of plastic a container
is made of but it is often misinterpreted by consumers to mean that a
container is recyclable. The Association only accepts plastic bottles and
containers that have established long term markets that are economically
and environmentally feasible. These containers are listed below:

Harpurhey resident wants
recognition for workimproving
hamlet entranceway.

A Harpurhey resident who
organized her neighbours to
maintain the entranceway
into Harpurhey is asking for
recognition - and maybe some
pay - for the work.
Marlene Loughnane sent a
letter to Huron East council
outlining the grass and bush
cutting, tree limb pick-up,
sidewalk cleaning and sign
painting done by her and
neighbours Grant Chesney,
Jim Carter and Garfield
Baker.
"I have lived in Harpurhey
for 19 years and the lot
across from my home has
been a disgrace. I felt it was
time to clean it up," she said
in her letter.
"I would like to say I took
this job on because I care
about our community. I felt
the entrance into Harpurhey
is important to keep main-
tained, not only for esthetics
but also for safety," she said.
She added she'd like
to see landscaping,
- benches, flowers,
garbage cans and a
"nice sign," added to-=
the entrance.
Loughnane submitted
a bill for $250, adding
it would cost more if
Huron East employees
had done the work.
"It would be great to
get paid for my hard
work but if Huron East
feels that they will not
pay for this service,

the beautification of the
Harpurhey entrance," she
said.
She also asked Huron East
take over the maintenance of
the vacant lot.
"I realize that a portion
belongs to the MTO (Ministry
of Transportation), but this
parcel's appearance reflects
on us as a municipality," she
said.
Tuckersmith Coun. Larry
McGrath said because many
farmers maintain the road
allowance on their properties
by cutting the grass, he didn't
think the Harpurhey resi-
dents should be paid.
"But, I think it's great that
they care about their commu-
nity and it's a real eye-opener
for us," he said.
Clerk -Administrator Jack
McLachlan said the matter
would be referred to Public
Works Manager Barry Mills.

cash for overdue
library fines.
This project is
offered through
the Huron
County Library
in partnership
with the Huron
County Health
Unit and local
food banks.
"This is a pop-
ular initiative
among Ontario's
public libraries,"
said Beth Ross,
County
Librarian. "It
gives library
users the oppor-
tunity to clear
their record,
return overdue
materials, and
support the food
banks serving
their communi-
ties. Fines for
items will be
waived on a one
to one ratio; it's
simply one item
of food for each
book overdue."

please contact
your local
library.
