First the depot was told the deal it had ta cheaply transport recycl- ables was cancelled, Then they got word the price for recyclable cardboard fell -to $40 a ton. Now they’ve been told. their federal Environmental Partners Fund grant’ application’ for an industrial-quality compactor — upon which the. future of the depot rests — has been rejected. “Tm less optimistic of us being able to coitinuec,”? society co- chairman Frank Donahue said Saturday, ‘‘This puts us in a much.more difficult sitnation.”” The socicly ~- which operates the depot behind Kondalas Furni- counted on getting the Federal grant to buy a new campactar. With it they could compress cardboard more lightly, and pack double the weight they now fil on a trailer, He said that would halve their transportation costs and give them some breathing room, The ‘recent events have farced the depot ta stop taking tin cans, magazines and glass bottles and plastics. They had hoped profits fom paper and cardboard could sub- sidize the recycling of thase materials, but they can no longer afford to attempt that. They’re also running out of tine, The city’s commitment ta pay the depot’s rent ends at the eid of the year. “Tf we're expected to come up with the rent as of January 1, that’s the day we close,’’ predicts Donahue. “Some very hard decisions have to be taken,’’ Donahue said. *T can’t see us ever reaching the day we wouldn't be subsidized.” Hwy16.
