Waste management report is presented Durham Region'sfuture when it cornes to wagte'imanagement lies in greater recycling and building an energy-from-waste (EFW) facility.. That was thet-conclusion of a report from MacLaren Engineers presented tW - R1egion works committee yesterday (Tuesday) on the Region's future garbage situation. e The report notes that Durham should be recycing 25 per cent of the estimated 326,900 tonnes of waste the Region is expected Wo be producing by 1993. This will require expansion Of the recycing centre, including pickup trucks, and more equipment to handle the waste.. The Region would be able Wo selI steam created by EFW Wo Atlantic Packaging ( now under construction in Whýitby) a ndý General Motors, according to the, report. The report states that if the Region was to find its own landfil site and build its. own EFW, system, the cost wouldý be $45 million to build and $5 million to operate annually. If, the Region was Wo stay with Metro Toronto and allow Metro Wo burn waste at a Region-owned EFW facility, a larger EFW system would be needed -and would cost. $220 million tu buill& and $20 million -to operate annually. Works committee members agreed to start prograxns to reach the goal of 25 per cent recycing by 1993. Members also decided Wo have staff investigate an EFW system .1 Attersley assists job search FROM PAGE 1 employers, and set up job retraining for those employees who want it.
