A glut of recycleable materi- als and a $2-million deficit in the waste management fund, may mean the postponement of four regional recycling projects. Regional councillors will vote tomorrow (Wednesday) on four waste management committee reports recommending that the region postpone the start up of the pilot mixed paper, plastics, and apartment recycling pro- jects, and the expansion of the recycling drop off depot net- work. "No agreement has been reached with Metro Toronto (in regards to waste) rebates," Re- gional Chairman Gary Herre- ma told the Star Friday. Since Durham has not re- ceived any rebates, the region is now "$2-million over budget in waste management," Chair- man Herrema said. It would cost the region an es- timated $600,000 to start up the four projects. "We have the (money) in the reserve fund," Chairman Herre- ma said, but explained that the region would have to borrow the money and then replenish the .fund by increasing taxes. Ifthe 32 councillors vote in fa- vor of postponing the projects until next year, the decision will follow on the heels of a provin- cial-wide recycling week, aimed at increasing awareness into re- cycling. dante bho | In Durham Region, recycling has really gained momentum in the last year. "The markets are flooded with recycleable materials," Chairman Herrema said. "There is more being recycled than we anticipated." "The people are certainly do- ing their jobs," But he said customers must "get after the manufacturers." Customers should buy mate- rials. that they don't have to Region may postpone up fo four new recycling projects throw out and avoid products with extra packaging, he said. "The taxpayers have to pay extra for the special packaging, and then pay again to get rid of it," he said Chairman Herrema said he was impressed with the number of recycling awareness cam- paigns throughout the region on reycling week, but even more awareness is needed if the envi- ronment is going to be saved, he said.

Council passed a motion au- thorizing Mr. McDermott to proceed with the necessary ap- plication to the Province to ob- tain a $250,000 PRIDE grant to help with the project. Scugog must match the grant dollar for dollar. Priorities for 1990 will be a top lift of asphalt, curbs and storms, a parking lot near the tennis courts, interlocking bricks along Water St., wash- room improvements at Latch- am Centre and decorative street lighting on the west side of Water St. Total cost of this work would be approximately $250,000 of which Scugog Township must contribute half. ©. In 1991, the Water Street project will be completed with the installation of the remain- ing street lights, streetscaping (trees, benches and garbage re- ceptacles), parking lots at Mary Street and Shanley Street and general repair boulevards, at an additional cost of $260,000.
