FROM: J. Dunham, Director of Public Works
SUBJECTs Special Garbage Pick Up
DATE: October 169 1975
I wish to refer to an attached memoran-
dum and Resolution No. W-279-75 dated
June 4 and 5 19759 at which time a
rather important issue was acted upon by
the Works Committee and to my knowledge
adopted by Council.
Now to me a policy was established9 set
out by a 6ommittee of Council which staff
are bound to abide by and follow.
In return' this direction was handed down
by myself for staff to follow and enforce'
which they have been doing®
On October 149 19759 Committee of the
Whole changed this policy somewhat to the
effect that the municipality will pick-up
leaves. I would say this action at this
time makes staff look foolish$ embarrassed
and frustrated to say the least.
By the time this Committee meets, Council
will have supposedly adopted Committee of
the Whole report of October 149 1975®
I therefore. suggest that this Committee
rescind and/®r amend Resolution No® W-27975
in an endeavour not to make things any ore
difficult than they already are®

(ii) Special Garbage Pick-up
The Director's Memo of June 4, 1975, set forth the following
recommendation.
"If this service is to continue in the fature, I would recommend
that portable boxes be supplied:- *Ad placed in the works yard,
whereby people could deposit special items to be disposed of.
These boxes can be supplied by Security Recycling at a much
lesser cost than has been experienced in the past. For example
a. 30 yard box costs $55.00 per week which means when it was
fall Another box would be dropped. and the full one taken away'.
In short $55.00 would be- the total cost regardleae how WAY times
it had to be dumped".
Resolution �No. W-279-75
Moved by Councillor Lyall, seconded by Councillor Tink,
That the Director of Public Works be authorized to contract
with Security Recycling to place ^ 30 cubic yard container
in the Public Works Yard, Bowmanville, for one month each
during the spring and fall special garbage pick up period and
to advertise this service in the rapp.copriato newspaper.

SUBJECT : Special Pick-up
DATE: June 4, 1975
During the week of May 20th, 19759 we had
a special pick-up for the residents within
the area that have municipal garbage coll-
ection.
The intent was to give people a chance to
dispose of items that are not picked up
with normal garbage. A notice was published
in the local paper well in advance stating
all loose trimming etc. to be in boxes
hedge cuttings tied, no large trees will be
picked up.
This notice had little or no effect on what
people deposited out at the street for pick-
up. As a resultq some had broken concrete
and other articles that two men could not
liftq lot alone load into a dump truck. As
a result, in some cases a loader had to be
used.
Costs for the six day collection, which in-0
eludes labour and machine timep was $2376. 54®
If this service Is to continue in the future,
I would recommend that portable boxes be
supplied and laced in the Works Yardo where
by people could deposit special items to be
dimpoiod of. These boxes can be supplied by
Security Recycling at a much lessor cost than
has been experienced in the past.
For example, a 30 yard box costs $55.00 per
week which means when it was full another box
would be ,dropped and the full one taken away®
In short, $55.00 would be the total cost re-
gardless how many time It had to b e d umped,
