Dear Madame Mayor:
Re: Recycling Igloos
We understand that each municipality in Durham is soliciting
corporate sponsorship for Igloos to increase environmental
protection for our Region. We commend the Town of Newcastle for
participating in this programme.
The Housing Authority has also made recycling a priority. We had
budgeted funds to provide Igloos at the multi-unit residential
developments which we manage on behalf of the Ontario Housing
Corporation.
Unfortunately, due to this provincial government's budget deficit,
we have recently experienced severe budget cuts and are unable to
proceed with our plan.
Would it be possible for the Town to obtain sponsored Igloos for
use at:
2 and 4 Nelson St. - 35 senior citizen apartment units
The Residents of these buildings are very responsive to the idea of
recycling their household wastes and, along with staff, would
appreciate any assistance the Town could provide in implementing
this programme.
Thank you for considering this request. — -= --#

Dear Mrs . McCord:
RE: Recycling Igloos - Our File 0.30.01
Your letter dated October 28, 1991, to Mayor Marie Hubbard (copy
attached) has been referred to for a review and report back to
Council.
It is noted that Don Patterson, Manager of Operations, wrote to you
on November 13, 1991 (copy attached) . The purpose of this letter
is to elaborate on Mr. Patterson's reply to you.
The blue box and. igloo recycling program is a Durham Region
program. The Town is involved in the program in that we manage the
contract for the collection of recyclables from the blue boxes .
The Town is involved in the igloo program to the extent that the
Town purchased seven sets of igloos in 1991. Attached for your
information is a copy of Report WD-44-91, which deals with the
purchase of the igloos . As noted in the report, it was considered
to be highly unlikely that the Region would be able to find
sponsors for the seven igloos in question.
i
The policy of the Ministry of the Environment and Durham Region is
that the blue box program is not to be used for multiple family
dwellings, such as apartment buildings. The intent is that the
owners of multiple family housing make their own arrangements for
recycling. You may wish to buy the igloos for the apartments, in

which case I suggest you call Ken Donnelly at the Region of Durham
Works Department (668-7721) . Another alternative is to contact
Browning Ferris Industries (433-5075) to see if what they have to
offer could be beneficial to you from a cost benefit viewpoint.
Another option would be to have your tenants take the recyclables
to the igloos which are located at the Bowmanville Public Works
Depot on Lake Road, south of Highway 401 and east of Liberty
Street, or to the igloos located at the Bowmanville Mall.
If I can be of any further assistance to you, please call me.

Dear Mrs . McCord:
We are in receipt of your letter of October 28, 1991, and
appreciate your interest in recycling. On May 23, 1991, the Town
of Newcastle purchased a set of igloos for seven locations. We
intend to purchase more igloos for certain areas, but
unfortunately we must decline your request for sponsorship at
this present time.
The Town of Newcastle can be considered in a catch-up mode and as
time prevails recycling will be made more convenient to the
commercial and residential sectors which are not presently being
provided for.
Sincerely,
Don Patterson, C.E.T.

UB.ECT: PURCHASE OF IGLOOS
;ECOMMENDATIONS:

REPORT NO. : WD-44-91 PAGE 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1. 1 At a meeting held on April 8, 1991, Council approved Recommendation
#GPA-233-91:
"THAT the Blue Box Program in the Town of Newcastle
be restricted to the urban areas of Courtice,
Bowmanville, Newcastle Village and Orono and that
the rural areas of the Town be serviced by recycling
depots (igloos) located at the Town of Newcastle
Public Works Depots in Hampton, Bowmanville and
Orono, the Newcastle Village and Enniskillen Fire
Halls and at Newtonville, Mitchell Corners, Kendal
and the Wilmot Creek Development. "
2.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
2 . 1 Adopt an Igloo Program
As Council is aware, the Region of Durham has an "Adopt an Igloo"
Sponsorship Program. The details are explained in Attachment No. 1.
This program has been in effect for several months and to date
sponsors have been obtained for igloos at the following locations:
Location Sponsor
Newcastle Village Fire Hall Laidlaw
Wilmot Creek Development Ridge Pine Development
Bowmanville Shopping Centre St. Marys Cement Company
In February I personally phoned seven companies to advise them of
the program and followed up with a letter (Attachment No.2) .
I have been contacted by one of the seven who advised me that they
would be interested in sponsoring a set of igloos if I could find
a location which would give better exposure than those listed in
my letter. . . . 3
REPORT NO. : WD-44-91
PAGE 3
2.2 Opinion
It is my opinion that:
* The Region will likely not be successful in obtaining
sponsors for the locations where the Town has decided to
have igloos.
* It is important that we get on with the program.
2 .3 Cost
There are seven locations for igloos which still require a sponsor:
i .
* The existing recycling depots located at the Bowmanville,
Hampton and Orono Public Works Depots .
* The new locations; Mitchell Corners, Enniskillen Fire
4 . Hall, Kendal and Newtonville.
j
2 .4 Sponsor by the Town
The Town of Newcastle could sponsor the igloos in order to get on
with the program. Since the Region pays the cost of' se:j:vicing the
igloos and pays the cost of recycling the materials deposited in
the igloos, there are some cost benefits to the Town to sponsor the
igloos . This is illustrated in the following table:
Location Estimated Tonnes
Cost/Tonne Net Saving to
Recycled for 6 Months at Disposal Site The Town
Existing 104 $150
{ New 78 '
$150 11 700
TOTAL
� y $11,700
The Town benefits from these savings regardless of whether or
not we sponsor igloos for these sites .
The cost to the- Town to sponsor these seven locations is
$26,250 .
049
. . .4
- ' I
REPORT NO. : WD-44-91 PAGE 4
Therefore, the net cost to the Town, in 1991, to sponsor seven sets
of igloos is $26,250 - 11,700 = $14,550
2 .5 Justification of the Expenditure
The Town has Town-wide garbage collection but the Blue Box Program
is provided only in the urban areas of Courtice, Bowmanville,
Newcastle Village and Orono. However, all residents who receive
garbage collection are charged $150/year ( 1991 rate) for garbage
collection, which includes the cost for the Blue Box Recycling
Program.
Since the residents in the rural areas do not receive blue box
recycling service, the expenditure of $26,250 in my opinion, is
warranted.
2 . 6 Reimbursement
In the event that sponsors are found for any of the locations, the
Town would be reimbursed their cost for the igloos .
2 . 7 Source of Funding
There are sufficient funds in the 1991 approved budget for Garbage
Collection to fund the expenditure of $26,250 .
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation

RECYCLING
Benefits to the Environment
Recycling materials is beneficial because it yields savings in energy costs and reduces
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen emissions from thermal electrical generating stations by
about 4.7 kilograms per household. These are the gases which cause acid rain.
The energy required for the production of steel and paper is reduced by more than half
when using recycled materials.
About 70 per cent of the energy normally used for the production of aluminum can be
saved by .using recycled materials.
The use of recycled glass or steel in manufacturing can reduce water consumption by
nearly 50 per cent.
• For every tonne of newspaper that is recycled 19 full-grown trees are left to live. These
trees help break down greenhouse gases which cause global warming.
• 13 tonnes of iron ore are saved for every tonne of recycled steel cans
• Nearly 20 per cent less energy is used when a tonne of clean glass cutlet, crushed glass
mixed with other materials, is used in the production of glass than when the same
amount of virgin materials is used. .
Benefits to You
• Each depot site will have 3 igloos. Sponsors are entitled to advertising space of 36" by
24" in up to 4 colours on all 3 igloos.
• By sponsoring an igloo your business will be supporting local recycling initiatives.
• Businesses illustrating concern for the environment will raise their profile within their
community.
• The extended exposure resulting from this type of advertising is beneficial due to the fact
that it makes your name seem more familiar to.the public.
" Property Management Sponsors will see a savings in waste disposal costs of between 15
and 20 per cent.
i
" Every time a householder uses an igloo they are contributing to the well-being of our
natural environment. The public will appreciate your business for giving them the
opportunity to do their part.
' The satisfaction derived from knowing that you,, as a sponsor, are doing something to
help the environment is enough to make sponsorship worthwhile.

Program
What is an Igloo?
"Igloo is a generic term for a receptacle which collects recyclable materails(see diagram#1).These
containers represent an expansion of our existing Blue Box program. Igloos will be placed in
prominent locations throughout the populated areas in Durham Region, such as community
centres, apartment buildings, recreational/park -facilities , townhouse complexes and transit
stations.
Background
The igloo system of collection has been used extensively throughout Europe, particularly
Germany..Rhenus(Germany) has been using the Igloo system since 1976.The city of Rhenus has
noted an increase of 10% per year of recyclable materials collected through the use of the Igloo
system. ,
In Canada several communities are assessing the use of the Igloo system,one example is Montreal,
Quebec. Montreal conducted a pilot project last year using the igloo system From their study
(using 51 igloos and very little advertising) they have found they were able to divert 49 tonnes of
solid waste per month. Montreal will be expanding their system by another 110 units in 1990.
Metro Toronto recently installed 70 igloos throughout the metropolitan area.Durham Region has
recently purchased 120 igloos.
How will the Igloo be used?
Once in its outdoor location the urban drop off depot (Igloo) will remain there year round.These
highly visible containers will be accessible for the public to drop off their recyclable materials
twenty four hours a day. The collection and servicing of the containers will be done on a weekly
basis.The site location for the Igloos will be chosen to compliment the existing Blue Box service.
Arens that have high pedestrian volumes are the primary locations i.e. bus stops, variety stores,
apartment buildings, community centres, etc.
Regional Municipality of Durham
Adopt an "Igloo"
Sponsorship
Program
The Sponsorship.Program
The "Adopt an Igloo" progam is set up to allow your organization to become publicly involved in
Your Regions environmental programs..With your sponsorship you will not only be helping to
expand Durham's Recycling Program you will also be increasing your public image.as an
organization concerned for the environment.This concern will be demonstrated be having your
logo placed directly on the Igloo indicating your sponsorship (see diagram#2 as an example).
Sponsorship Specifications
Each drop off site will consist of 3 igloos placed side by side to receive various types of recyclable
materials, As a sponsor your logo will appear on each of the 3 containers in an image area of
approximately 24" x 36" and includes black.plus one colour ( additional colour is available).
Although the life expectancy of the igloo is from five to ten years,you are guaranteed a minimum
of three years exposure. -
We at the Region feel that this is an essential program and would like you to become a part of it!
