pae 1 thethibuxe thursday december 14 1972 carols hangup is recycling garbage by barbara brooks unionville carol danard worries about garbage she collects and stacks tons of garbage for recycling she has help but if she didnt shed do it herself as founder head and moving spirit of unionvilles recycling depot she is more than just concerned about pollution carol energetically dedicates many hours a week to her cause in the four months since its opening the depot has handled over 20 tons of recycleable material she meets regularly with her volunteers to discuss any new facts details or queries to be added to a report she is preparing to present to the local council in the near future to enlist government support if carol is the moving spirit of the recycling depot its success is due to the participation of the villagers who use the depot each month the percentage of homes participating in creases so that to date over 200 families are using the facilities regularly and the volunteers have in creased from 8 to 30 besides sorting bottles and loading the truck at least twice a month the volunteers are on hand at the depot to instruct and advise new par ticipants on how to collect selective garbage they find out tins must be washed labels removed and flat tened aluminum pop cans need not be crushed glass must be washed foil labels removed and separated by colour newspapers must be tied in small bundles families tell carol how grateful they are that the depot exists people were made aware of pollutions by all medias she says now they feel that as individuals they are at least doing a small part something to help she hopes that the government will take note of such successes as these 13 tons of paper were collected and sold to mils at 3 8 a ton 5 tons of glass sold at 15 a ton 2 tons of tin cans sold for 5 a ton there is money to be made she says but our depot is losing im sure we could break even financially if we had centrally located and larger depots special students only aa haircut and styling 350 steves barber shop 303- ktouitville plaza pfipne 6404036 open mon dec is carol tells of an american machine that after separating metal and glass from garbage heats the balance and gets crude oil this procedure costs 350 per ton and crude oil only costs 600 however to dispose of the original garbage it would cost 1100 thus the saving is 1150 a well known greeting card com pany has used recycled paper for many years but now uses this fact as part of their advertising because people today have an enlightened attitude for every ton of paper that is recycled 17 trees are not cut down one man asked why our depot didnt advertise more says carol when he found out that our operations were all volunteer he gave us 2000 to ad vertise carols enthusiam is as strong today as when the depot was just an idea living in this small village just north of toronto she is influenced by the natural rural area and is determined that we should try to preserve the beauty we have concerned about the vast amount of newspapers that ac cumulated in her home carol organized a group of 14 houses using her own garage as a pickup spot although carols husband is an un derstanding man it soon became evident that the group needed another building im stubborn she admits the bramalae developer offered a small garage on the llage main street cross from the post ffice where all residents must pick up their mailjiaily plans seemed to snowball from there notice the times and istructions were printed on recycledpaper and delivered locally the depot is open tuesdays 14 pjn thursdays 5 8 pjn and saturdays from 10 noon an afternoon and evening and morning time schedule makes the depot convenient for all through other pollution interested groups especially approve 9250 for mabel davis conservation area york north hon leo bernier minister of natural resources and william hodgson mpp york north have announced the approval of a provincial grant of 9250 to the south lake simcoe con servation authority for the mabel davis conservation area this area comprises some 17 acres of land located in parts of lots 96 and 97 eys township of east gwillimbury the property was donated to the authority in 1969 the authority is proposing to undertake further development work in this area which will include finishing the basement area to serve as the authority boardroom provision of services to provide for future expansion of the building and additional general development work all member municipalities will bear the authoritys share of the cost pollution probe carol received help and instructions and learned from the methods already tried by the recycling group in burlington ontario i wish 1 could reach the families who are not participating she says i feel helpless when some families copout with excuses and attitudes that mean they just cant be bothered i dont believe that recycling depots are the ultimate answer to some pollution problems perhaps a doortodoor pickup would be better we want council to set up a feasibility group to investigate sug gestions co ordinate information and to check into the dump facilities of our village in 4 months the villagers have proved the public is con cerned however eventually the government will have to take control in the meantime unionvilles depot is in capable hands h i 1 1 1 1 n kl ill pi s 1 i 1 1 l mmm
