IS IT iton 1 ilfltf flit hip gi Hi lit U II NEWMARKET Toronto needs a place to dump its garbage York Region and municipal councillors were told here Friday The thrust of a major waste management study released recently by the Ontario environment ministry is to ensure Metro Toronto access to disposal sites in York and neighboring regions Toronto generates nearly two million tons of waste per year com pared to tons annually in York Region the report states Currently Toronto garbage is dumped in private sites in York Region and in Durham Region Peel does not accept Metro garbage A major recom mendation of the report is that the provincial government exercise its authority to ensure that Metro Toronto has access to landfill sites outside its boundaries Representatives stressed the report is also concerned with developing alternatives to landfill such as recovery and recycling To date the province has withheld taking a stand regarding aste management The ministry urges however that regions call for legislation to permit them to undertake the management of landfill sites York has already taken steps to amend the Region of York Act What you really want is facilities for waste disposal for Metro Toronto somewhere outside Toronto commented Councillor Howard Shillington of Township He complained local municipalities would have no control over the location and operation of garbage sites under he plan At some point they Metro get rid of their garbage Bald Wells of the ministry However he noted local do not like to feel the recipient A local municipality will in most cases oppose the establishment of major facilities he said While the sole Intent of the report not to find garbage sites for Toronto it is based on the recognized need of all municipalities to find waste disposal sites not each on its own but as part of joint ventures commented Alex of the ministry Georgina Is not an economical area for waste disposal facilities and it is unlikely that township would be part of Yorks activities com mented Mr The province is also committed to finding alternatives to landfill sites he noted But landfill will always be needed Local municipalities participate In
