Expires July 18, 1689 oo Household garbage is being accepted at the Scugog landfill site on Durham Road 8, and will continue to be accepted for the next few months atleast, Ken Donnelly, solid waste operations manager for Dur- ham Region, told the Star last week that the public can bring bags of household trash for dis- posal at the dump. He said there has been some confusion among the pub- licover the status of the landfill. "The dump has never really been closed down completely," he said. What is not accepted at the site, however, is industrial and/ or commercial garbage. But people who clean out their basement or garage or have a few bags of household trash can dumpit at the site. And there is a transfer bin at the site for the same kind of garbage. People can use this bin on wet days so they won't have to walk in the mud or risk getting their vehicle stuck. Donnelly says people will be able to dispose of normal household trash there until the Region builds a proper transfer station on the site. Just when that will be is not known. Before industrial and commmercial trash was banned, including household garbage picked up by commer- cial haulers, the Scugog landfill was taking an average of 90 tonnes per day. And on some days, the figure was closer to 300 tonnes. Now, four months later, the site is taking about five tonnes of household trash daily, and Donnelly said at this rate, there is a fair amount of room left at the site for garbage. The public can also dispose of a lot of other trash at the site aswell. There is a bin for scrap met- al, including old appliances like fridges and stoves. There are separate bins for newspapers, cans, bottles, even a large tank for used motor oil. And such things as old car batteries and propane cylinders can be left at the site for safe dis- posal. b " There is a bin for corrugat- ed cardboard, but the boxes must first be broken down be- fore dumped in the bin. Local stores are permitted to dispose of corrugated card- board at the dump, as long as the quantities are not too large. Donnelly says the public generally is becoming very aware of the need for waste re- duction through re-cycling. He urges people to separate their garbage (paper, cans and bot- tles for re-cycling) before they arrive at the dump site. "Once the public becomes familiar with the system (at the dump site) it's really quite sim- ple," he says. The gates are open from 8:30 to 4:30 Monday to Friday, and from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays. Clerk Reg Winfield is on duty and more than willing to assist the public, and answer questions about what can and what can't be dumped there. And if you have any doubt before setting out for the dump, call him at 985-7973. He sug- gests that people with large loads of brush should dispose of them at the Cartwright Trans- fer Station, just east of Black- stock. The disposal of garbage has become a major problem in Dur- ham Region. The Region is now trying to open a new dump in north Pick- ering, but in the meantime has set a goal to reduce solid waste by 25 per cent over the next three years through re-cycling and re-using what might have siaply been tossed into a land- Elaine Collis works for the .

The Region this summer is scheduled to start covering the large are of the Scugog dump al- ready filled with garbage with a layer of clay two feet thick. Eventually, a second cover of soil will be placed over the. clay; and grass will be planted. Certificates D.J. TAYLOR [eac.
