City will introduce voluntary recycling —

TERRACE — The Ter- race municipal council has endorsed in principle the

- idea of voluntary trash

recycling and has resolved to begin a public educa- ‘tion and awareness pro- gram to promote recycl- ing.

City planner Rob Greno has received material from

- Ottawa and the District of

Saanich indicating that there could be several local benefits from better conservation practices. If paper, glass. and metal items were absent from

_ the normal garbage pick-

up, costs to the municipality would be reduced and the life expec- tancy of the local landfill

would be extended by several years. Greno also speculated that new in-

dustries could grow up. . around the recycling of ‘materials.:.

“The use of recycled materials in paper manufacturing and metal production reduces costs by an average of 35 -per- cent,’’ Greno said. He also pointed out that jobs in recycling might provide employment opportunities for groups such as the mentally handicapped, who are traditionally ex- cluded from the mainstream workforce.

The-only type of recycl- ing presently operating in Terrace is directed toward

beginning, it’s exactly what we wanted,’? Mal- hotra said. ‘‘If this had been proposed at the start, the dispute would have been over four months ago.”’

. The Truck Loggers’ proposal is a two-year contract retroactive to June 15; 1986, with no wage increase in the first year and an average in- crease of 40 cents an hour in the second year. Pen- sion benefits will increase $§ per month for each year of service to $25 a month per service year, and IWA members will have the option of retiring at age 60 with full pen- sion. Members retiring at age 55 will receive 82 per- cent of full pension. Malhotra said members who have been out of work since 1983 will not be penalized on their pen- sion for breaks in service during that period.

The issue of contract- ing-out, the core of the lengthy dispute, will be addressed by a Royal Commission. The Com- mission is ordered to report no later than Feb. 1, 1988, with its recom- mendations regarding job protection for IWA

Greno suggested that private companies might be persuaded to undertake paper and metal recycling operations here if Terrace could become a regional collection center.

Greno points out that there could be social benefits as well, par- ticularly from educating young people in the com- munity about environ- mentally responsible lifestyles.

Malhotra concluded by saying the strike was ‘‘definitely worthwhile’.

Don Saunders, chair- man and chief. executive officer of FIR, said in a telephone interview from Vancouver, ‘‘Everyone’s grateful that it’s all over. It’s our proposal and we're recommending that the member companies ac- cept it.’’ The FIR members will vote today (Dec. 10) on the agree- ment,

Saunders said he ex- pects the recommenda- tions from the Royal Commission to set an en- vironment for a collective agreement in 1988 and to provide a framework for bargaining between the FIR and the [WA.

Latest estimates from a number of sources in- dicate the strike cost the B.C. economy more than $2 billion in direct losses.
