Relax you Record and Chronicle publishers, city council is thinking of collecting and recycling newspapers, not printing them. The one-year contract with Superior Sanitation Services of Kitchener to col- lect newsprint in the city expired Sept. 15, and be-' cause the volume was “disappointingly low" the con- tractor will not be renewing the agreement for the en- }suing year. During Monday's council meeting Aid. Richard Biggs tabled a resolution to have City Engineer Jim Willis look into and report on the feasibility of the City doing the newsprint collecting with a spare works de- partment vehicle. “We have an obligation to en- courage our citizens to conserve and recycle ma- Tn you (was: any "we.

Now less people are having insulation in- stalled, and the demand has fallen off. “It's a tough market," said Hallman. Gary Carter, operations manager for Superior Sani- tation, said it was a "matter of economics," and the vo- lume of newsprint picked up was too low to Justify con- tinuing the program. terials," said Aid. Biggs, when it appeared the paper collection program would lapse entirely. According to Mr. Willis the contractor claimed he had "very few complaints" from people putting papers out and not having them collected. Superior had the truck out in Waterloo every day they were committed to under the contract, said the city en- gineer; however he felt "the driver was not hitting all the streets he was supposed to." Mayor Marjorie Carroll pointed out that “several times during the year they collected very early...put- ting papers out at 9 o'elock would be too late some- times." The success of the newspaper recycling pro- gram in Kitchener, the mayor added, was partly due to the fact Superior Sanitation collected the garbage and the papers on the same day. - Mr. w'illis will report back io Waterloo council on the economic feasibility of the city collecting the newsprint.
