One meeting worth attending

@ Recycling plan put to
the test at public hearings

Martin Meyer
RECYCLING ADVISORY GROUP. __

In late 1989 the ‘provincial
government, endoreed a =.

calling for a reduction in sol-
ta wants of 50 per cent by the
year 2000. — :

The Ministry of Environ-
ment stipulated that a plan be
developed in three stages, and
that it involve public input.

In the Regional District of
Central Kootenay, a consultant
was hired to help prepare the
plan. Some time ago the Stage
I report was released.

It casentaay. described the
existing solid waste manage-

~ ment pecans and identified a
number of future options.

A public meeting is sched-
uled for the Castlegar area at
the Fireside Inn at 7 p.m. on
June 24, 1992, at which time
the consultants are expected to
present their Stage II recom-
mendations.

GT,

Recycling
and
You

It is my understanding that
this is the last real opportunity
for public input prior to final-
ization of the plan. :

If you miss the public no-
tices you could contact the RD-
CK office in Nelson to obtain
the details.

There are a number of good
reasons why it would be worth
your trouble to attend the

mee ‘

Youn may be interested to
know the consultants position
on whether or not we'll have an
incinerator in our area?

You may wish to find out
whether or not the Ootischenia
landfill will become a regional
dump site?

You may also be interested
to know what their recommen-
dations are regarding curbside
collection programs and home
composting incentives?

Will we have staffed our un-
staffed drop-off centres for re-
cyclables?

What kind of education pro-

will they suggest?

What will be their position
on the release of freon into the
atmosphere?

How about their recommen-
dations on the dumping of an-
tifreeze and sewage mto our
landfills? :

If you have strong feelings
on any of these issues you
not want to miss this last op-
portunity to have your views
heard prior to the plan being fi-
nalized.

Last but not least, you may
wish to ask how much all of
this is expected to cost?

See you at the meeting.
