At Halton's Planning and Public Works Committee meeting Wednesday, committee supported a recommendation that as of Sept. 1, 2002, leaf and yard waste will only be collected in reusable containers and biodegradable paper yard waste bags. Committee also supported the renewal of the contract with GroBark for compost operations at the waste management site for five years. The recommendations will be before regional council for final approval today. "Banning the use of plastic bags for yard waste collection has environmental and economical benefits to the overall (compost ing) program," said Patrick Murphy, Halton's Commissioner of Planning and Public Works, in his report to the committee. Eliminating plastic bags will shave nearly $85,000 off the region's annual composting cost, bringing the total to $391,000, and another $9,000 each year from staff time. It will also result in reduced odours and improved compost quality. The cost of paper yard waste bags is approximately 2 to 25 cents more than a plastic yard waste bag. While the ban on plastic bags is to begin on Sept. I, the vol untary phase-in period will start April 2002.
