no way of knowing if they are carrying garbage from york region or toronto but the delays at keele valley are much shorter than at transfer stations in toronto where vehicles are being stopped for up to 15 minutes each cre ating lineups in which some vehicles must wait for three hours or more at one point tuesday morning about 20 vehicles were waiting to enter keele valley meaning a wait of approximately 40 minutes for the last one in line but so far it doesnt appear to be affecting curbside pickup in area municipalities its not affecting our residents at all said newmarket spokesperson wanda bennett garbage pickup is still hap pening as per normal schedules nor is vaughan experiencing any delays in its schedules despite the cau tion it issued to residents last week that there might be disruptions weve been lucky so far said direc tor of public works brian anthony he said vaughan has added some extra trucks to make up for time lost at keele valley but the citys twiceaweek pickup service is still in force claudia marsales manager of waste management said the strike has not affected curbside collection in markham certainly garbage trucks are having to wait but so far the public hasnt noticed any effect she said were anticipating well be able to continue to dump at keele valley georginas director of public works said the strike wont delay service in that municipality but disposal costs could increase if it continues bob magloughlen said last week if delays reach the point where garbage trucks cant get into keele valley york region has made arrangements for dis posal at landfill sites in st catharines and st thomas that would cost an additional 20 per tonne he said be a big brother its kids stuff 9057271251 this message brought to you as a community service of the
