In- deed, many Ontario municipalities, especially the city of Toronto, face imminent closure of landfill sites and they Must still collect tons of garbage daily.

Or perhaps they tell you there will he a major landfill site adjacent to. your land, complete with moderately toxic waste and a lifetime's supply. of nauseating stench and gulls. Then you will un- derstand what kind of opposition is being met. "Not in my bac• kyard" is still the attitude taken by most people. That's quite -good, after all, it pro- vides opposition that forces the is- sues to be dealt with. However, When people say, "It's o.k. in their backyard, but not in mine!", then the argument is not acceptable. We must all he as concerned with the people in other municipalities as we are with our neighbours and our- selves. It is such concern that has given rise .to a fascinating multi - municipal drive for the development and implementation of recycling programs.

November 3, at :Queen's park, a celebration marking the delivery of the one millionth hluc box to.an Ontario resident will take place. Huron County munici- palities. including Exctcr, are pros-. ently researching the potential for a Blue Box program as part. of their waste management plans. • Recycling programs are attractive Methods of reducing the amount of solid waste leaching- landfill sites.

Exeter, where current projections indicate that the landfill site will last many more years? Thc reason for recycling is not -simply to alleviate solid waste pressure on landfill sites.
