To The Residents Of The
Townships Of Grey and McKillop
A. 50.85 tons of newspaper, glass, tin and PET were shipped for
recycling during the first 12 months of the recycling program.
B. Approximately 75% of the people who enter the landfill site have
material separated for recycling.
Your participation and involvement in the
recycling program is appreciated and is a
benefit to both municipalities due to the sav-
ing of landfill space and a general concern for
our environment.

WALTON LANDFILL
RECYCLING PROGRAM
Your co-operation and participation in the recycling program is
greatly appreciated. However, to enhance our program, the follow-
ing suggestions are being made:
Food and beverage cans have a high volumn to
weight ratio. Therefore, by flattening cans as much
asossible, Tess space is used in the recycling bin
P p y g
and heavier loads are therefore shipped.
Due to a higher demand for clear glass than mixed glass, r
separate bins are now provided for clear and coloured
glass. if you are not inconvenienced by the extra sorting,
please keep your clear glass separate from all other glass.
Please assist your recycling bin atten-
dant by separating your material as
much as possible. The more it is
separated, the easier it is for him to
handle.
TOWNSHIPS OF GREY AND McKILLOP
Because wife assault usually happens
at home, people tend to think of it as
a family affair. But wife assault is not
a private matter. It is a crime.
As a community we should all be
concerned.
For emergency assistance or referral,
call the Wife Assault Helpline, listed
in the white pages of your telephone
directory or call the police.
