Wants town to help clear dump litter One of the signatories to the agreement ex- tending the operation of the Pauze landfill site has asked members of the North Simcoe Waste Management Association to take steps to reduce the amount of surface litter blowing around near the landfill site near Perkinsfield. John Hartman asked association members during their Tuesday meeting in Penetanguishene to arrange for several employees of NSWMA's six participating municipalities to help the dump's operator pick up surface litter. Hartman said the entrance to the site, the 9th concession road running past the entrance and land surrounding the site are strewn with blowing garbage. Before he made his report to the association, Elmer Pauze had started to clean refuse from the front gate of the site. The association is expected to consider the request to get back to Hartman.
