Not a lot to work from
Hady Nufyet | Sun, 2008-03-09 18:03
The ad doesn't give much to work from and paints a far rosier picture of our dump than reality. Even though they claim management these past few years has been sorting garbage to a certain extent, the truth is that the landfill is presently a toxic liability. No one checks what goes in or where it gets put. No one.
Caribdude is right, it will take more than just contracting a waste company to treat and recycle our trash, it will take legislation and enforcement and education. I think import taxes based on the recyclability should be considered, with the French side too of course. And what did happen to working with the French side anyway? I thought the idea of these meetings recently was to increase cooperation.
I attended the ECODEC presentation about 16 months ago and remember they were basically given a brush off by Roy. Does anyone have their contact info? I Haven't found anything online.
