Regional officials say they expect some initial confusion among the ublic when new pol- icies for dumping garba into effect July 3. 5 8° "There will be some prob- lems, no question about that," said an official with the Re- gion's Works Department last week. And he said staff at the Re- gion's landfill sites and transfer stations can expect to run into some angry public reaction over the policies.

COMPARE THE RATE! 65 QUEEN ST, PORT PERRY 985-8435 College Graduates - ANTENNA SERVICE * Complete Tower Installations * Heads & Rotors * Boosters * Pre-wiring * FM Heads * Repairs The Region operates two transfer stations in Scugog Township, one just west of Port Perry and the other just east of Blackstock. Staff at these stations have been handing out circulars for the last few weeks which ex- plain the new policies and charges. But the Works Depart- ment official agreed that the wording could be ambiguous and confusing. For those facilities without Lynn Bradbury, daughter of Bob and Barb Bradbury, Port Perry, has recently graduated from Ryerson Polytechnical In- stitute in Toronto with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree. Lynn has accepted a position at St. John's School in Uxbridge. Lynn is a graduate of Port Perry High School. Sorry, but the Gremlins were at it again.... The cutline under a photo- graph on page 20 in last week's Port Perry Star incorrectly identified a local magician. It should have read Steve Hepburn. Our apologies to Steve for the error. Please don't turn the trusty word processor into a rabbit, OK Steve? And a story which quoted Winston Churchill contained a typographical error. The quota- tion should have read "never in the field of human conflict has 80 much been owed by so many to so few." It was a tough week when we manage to botch one of the most famous quotations in the English language. PICTURE PERFECT T.V. 985-950 72 Water St. PORT PERRY weigh scales (Scugog and Black- stock stations) the circular reads as follows: 1/ The rate for passenger cars, non commercial pick-up trucks and vans, with or without utili- ty trailers. Under 100 kg (220 pounds) of garbage, no charge. Only one such free load will be allowed per day for each vehi- cle. 2/ All vehicles of less than 3000 kg (6600 pounds) Gross Vehicle Weight including pick-up trucks and vans but excluding assenger cars, the rate will be $30 per vehicle. 3/ No other vehicles will be al- lowed at the transfer station. The ambiguity seems to be in # 1 and 2 as they relate to pick-up trucks and vans. However, the department official said the bottom line for citizens is that they will be al- lowed to get rid of up to 220 pounds of household trash and recyclables free of charge once a day. d Staff at the transfer station will visually inspect loads and make a "discretionary judge- ment" as to whether the weight exceeds 220 pounds. Larger trucks, commercial waste haulers and contractors with debris from construction PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 26, 1990 -- 3 New garbage dumping fees in effect July 3 sites will be turned away from the transfer stations and told to dump at the Brock West landfill in Pickering where the new tip- ping fee is $97.50 per tonne (1,000 kg) The official said that when it comes to visually inspecting a load to determine the weight, transfer station staff "will give the benefit of the doubt to the ratepayers." However, he added that the Region is considering giving cameras to staff at transfer sta- tions to photo licence plates of anyone who refuses to pay, and the matter will be turned over to the Region's legal depart- ment. "We don't want (transfer station) staff getting into argu- ments and hassles with people at the stations. We'll let them dump and take action later," he said. The 220 pound limit for dumping without charge has caused concern for Scugog Re- gional councillor Yvonne Chris- tie. She feels that a lot of farm- ers and others livingin rural ar- eas without municipal garbage pick-up could be penalized by the new policies. Often, they make just one trip to the station every two or ITS ALL HAPPENING AT ... three weeks, or longer, and dur- ing that period may accumulate more than 220 pounds of gar- bage. The Works official agreed that some individuals will have to make their trips to the sta- tion more frequently, if they want to get under the 220 pound ceiling and avoid paying the fee. But he stressed that staff are not going to make excep- tions. The new policies had been scheduled to take effect on June 1, but the deadline was pushed back to July 3 to give Regional staff a chance to explain the pol- icies to the public. Ads are being placed in area newspapers and anyone wishing information can call the Works Department in Whit- by at 668-7721. While most people are aware of the reasons for the new policies (the cost of getting rid of garbage in Durham has sky- rocketed) officials concede that some people are going to just dump their trash beside rural roads rather than pay the fees or make several trips to the 'transfer station.
