Blue boxes handy but costly

@ Containers let

residents sort recyclables
at home, but maintaining
program time consuming

Martin Meyer

RECYCLE ADVISORY GROUP
communities have

blue box programs in place for

from households.
Residents place their clean
tin cans, glass, old

sulted in a lower level of com-
mitment by householders since
they then have to sort and keep
recyclables in their homes for
— periods between pick-

<3 also means that if you for-
get the schedule your blue box
may be left full on the curb if
you put the wrong material out
on pickup day. Some other
problems include the fact that
paper may be ruined if left out
in the sun or rain. Also, ifnon-
ls are left in

and so on into the boxes and
set them out on the curb on
garbage day. The plastic boxes
are a distinctive deep blue col-
or and have a “recycling” logo
on them. The material in these
boxes is handled separately
from the other garbage.
Members of the Recycle Ad-
visory Group has mixed feel-
ings about a blue box
for the Castlegar area. We've
had an opportunity to see what
other communities are experi-
encing and to learn from their
mistak.

From a householder’s point
of view, blue boxes would be
quite convenient, since people
could dispose of their recy-
clables without leaving their
homes.

On the other hand, it would
cost a lot of money to set up the

program. Each home would
need at least one blue box, and

the blue boxes they would have
to be sorted and separated.
Some municipalities have

would likely be the most cost-
ly aspect of all. The people who
go from house to house to col-
lect the material would have to
sort the items from the blue
boxes. into the appropriate
compartments in the truck.

It’s quite time consuming,
and therefore very expensive,
since we all have to pay their
wages to do so.

Some communities have set
up schedules so

with private collec-

tors who only wish to take the

highest grades of recyclable
materials.

Perhaps a better way to go
for our community would be to
have several convenient super-
vised drop-off depots. The loca-
tions might best be near gro-
cery stores and other places of
business where we'd be going
anyways.

We'd do our own sorting,
and could drop materials off in
amounts that were convenient
for us, with depot hours similar

are picked up one week, glass
the following week, then tin
cans, and so on. This helps to
reduce the sorting, but has re-
