THE NEW STANDARD OF

SATISFACTION.

Our standard features beat Accord and Camry off the bottom line.

The re-engineering of Buick over the last four years started with a world class quality mandate. And a clean slate. Today, Buick is setting new standards of quality and satisfaction with standard features like power 4 wheel disc brakes for safer, shorter stopping capability. Dual control air conditioning to allow driver and front seat passenger independent comfort settings. And a fuel efficient V6 engine that delivers more power than Accord and Camry with outstanding fuel economy. And all at a price that will make the competition see red.

Tough laws required to make RDCK recycling work se

Martin Meyer

RECYCLING ADVISORY GROUP Director Ken Wyllie made a

presentation to the Regional

District of Central Kootenay

board on the subject of waste

,»>Management.

His report included the Re- cycle Advisory Group’s recent list of recommendations, some of which are reprinted as fol- lows:

* More information should be made available to the public with respect to the consultants’ Stage I report. We suggest that an executive summary of the report be printed in all local newspapers.

¢ The Waste Management Commission should put a pri- ority on developing composting systems for community use, in- cluding the development of markets for compost.

¢ We suggest the Waste Management Commission work with RDCK to make ap- propriate recommendations and motions to the B.C. gov- ernment to establish an advi- sory group whose purpose would be to develop marketing strategies for all recyclable

materials in the province.

° B.C. should have a Bever- age Container Act similar to the one which was recently en- acted in New Brunswick.

© We disagree with the con- cept of trucking material to central landfills. We believe that landfills should be estab-

lished in each area where

waste is generated.

In the long term, trucking to central locations is inefficient since central locations will change as the various sites get filled up.

© The possibility of sending chipped wood and burnables to Celgar for consumption in their power boiler should be explored more thoroughly.

This plan may be consistent with B.C. Hydro efforts to en- courage more cogeneration of electricity.

¢ We reiterate the need to hire a local waste manager, who would be responsible for co-ordinating all aspects of waste management activities in the RDCK.

© We believe the figure of $1 to $2.50 per household per month for a Blue Box program

Recycling and - You

(quoted in Stage I Report) is unrealistically low.

We suggest that we do not seriously consider a Blue Box program in this area due to high costs and inefficiencies encountered elsewhere.

¢ Stage I Report (VII-18) does not include a processing facility for the Castlegar area.

We suggest that no matter what the other alternatives are, it would be worthwhile to seriously consider bringing Castlegar materials to River- vale (part of RDKB, by mutu- al agreement).

° Septic sludges should not be allowed into any landfills,

and should be disposed of only in (municipal) treatment plants.

© We recommend that the Waste Management Commis- sion and RDCK petition the province to establish a “green tax” system on items which are very difficult to dispose of. For example gyproc, certain types of plastic, and so on.

© We suggest that the B.C. school curriculum be extended to include formal classes for students on the subjects of re- ducing, reusing, recycling, re- thinking and recovering — all related to waste management strategies.

¢ An antifreeze collection scheme, similar to the pro- posed B.C. oil collection plan, be implemented by the provin- cial government.

¢ We recommend that a plan be developed for the RD- CK to responsibly handle fre- ons and CFCs from all sources, including household refrigera- tors and automotive air condi- tioners.

¢ It is widely recognized that the industrial, commer- cial and institutional sector

produces approximately 50 per cent of society’s garbage.

The consultants’ report does not adequately address this item. We recommend that a great deal more focus be placed on developing schemes to ad- dress source reduction and re- sponsible handling of recy- clable and waste materials in this sector.

¢ We recommend that the Waste Management Commis- sion and the RDCK take ap- propriate steps to encourage the province to extend the ex- isting tire recovery program to include conveyor belts, V-belts, and hoses.

© We suggest that greater educational focus is required on the need for people to “re- duce” and “reuse”. This may be accomplished via all govern- ment bodies.

© We recommend that the Waste Management Commis- sion re-evaluate the tipping fees which are in place at local landfills. We suggest that much higher fees should be as- sessed on materials which are recyclable so that people avoid putting them into the landfills.
