SOLID WASTE RECYCLING STUDY

*

At the vegular Council Meeting held on September llth, 1972 the

following resolution was passed "That as recommended in a report from the

City Engineer, September Sth, 1972 the Solid Waste Recycling Study prepazed

so

by W.R.E. Hickwan and Jens C. Jensen be vefexred to the Public Works Coimuitcee
and Environmental Protection Sub-Committee for recommendation and report back

to a forth coming Council Meating with Mr. Hickman to be in attendance to

Son DSTO OSS

formally present the Study and answer any questions."

The Committee and Sub-Committee have met and discussed the Recycling
tudy on several occasions and now submit the following comments and recon~
endations to the Council for consideration,

(1) Copies of the Study be made available to the general public in

accordance with the City's sale of documents policy.

(2) Letters of thanks and appreciation be sent to the authors of

the Report, W.R.E. Hickman and J.C.-Jensen, to Dr. R. Cameron
and his collegues at U.3.C. and to the Pollution Concrol Board
in Victoria.

The 1973 Council consider applying the residential garbage pick-
up standard (2 cans per week) to all commercial and industrial.
establishments. This would mean that most if not all of these
establishments would have to arrange their own private garbage
pickup. One of the reasens for this recommendation is contained
on page 6 ef the Report. Another reason is the fact that with-

out a reduction in the volume of gaxbage now collected, the City

will soon be faced with the purchase of an addition Garbage Packer
Unit because of the continuing rapid residential growth in the
City.

Perhaps the most unique part of the report is the preparation

and the results of the Reclamation Survey. Every effort should
be made to implement some form of solid waste recycling as a
vesult of the Zevourabie citizen response to the Reclamation

Survey.
