Reduction to one bag of garbage January 1 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 14, 2007

A Waste Management and Recycling Committee was established as a
Committee of Council on August 13, 2007. Named to the Committee were
Councillor Wray Lamont, Councillor Dan Kerr, Robert Woolvett and Brad Burnett.

Waste management and recycling initiatives are the main priority of the
Committee with their focus being public education and the encouragement of
recycling with the intention of the initiation of new recycling programs. They also
wish to bring more focus to garbage collection and landfilling activities.

This Committee began their tenure by self education; participating in facility tours
of recycling, composting and landfill sites. They have armed themselves with the
knowledge of programs which have been successful in other municipalities and
are excited to bring these ideas to South Bruce Peninsula for implementation.

As public education will be paramount to the success of this Committee, watch
for information booths, pamphlets, newspaper ads and mail outs to keep abreast
of the exciting new collection programs, depots and containers as they become
available.

The Committee meets on a monthly basis (or more frequently if required).
Members of the public are encouraged to attend and offer their insight and
experience in the areas of garbage and recycling programs. Meeting times and
dates are available by contacting Town Hall 519-534-1400 ext 130.

With the reduction to one bag of garbage for collection beginning January 1,
2008, the Committee stresses the importance of increasing household recycling
as much material as possible. Recycle bins are available for sale at Town Hall.
Bag tags (to be affixed to bags in excess of the bag limit) are available for sale at
the following locations: Sauble Information Centre, Aiken Brothers Home
Hardware, Town Hall, Wiarton Train Station, Cindy's Variety, Sauble Library,
Solway's Food Market, Kirkland's Valu-Mart, Sauble Pharmacy and Daisy Mart.
Bag tags are $1.50 each.
