At last week's meeting of Durham Regional Council, Works Commissioner Bill Twelvetrees said that the Metro public works department bas increased the -rates charged to Durham for the use of their Pickering landfil site from $13.25 per ton to $15.50 per ton beginning June 1 Leading the barrage of criticism was Whitby Mayor Bob Attersley who told council that this 17 per cent increase was totaily unaccep- table. "It appails me," the mayor said, "The province bas set out a five per cent guideline. "How the hell do you stay in the guidelines when you have a 17 per cent increase in gar- bage. It doesn't make any sense atail." Attersley said that the region should start looking for an ap- propriate site for its own landfill faciiity., "We should start looking for our own facility and have every municipality paying their fair share,"1 he Negotiations with unionized employees have been conducted within the provincial guidelines and.Attersley maintained that accep- ting such a' large in- crease for waste disposai does not put the region in a good position at tbe bargaining table. "The region should pull out of Metro and form our own landfil dumping site," Atter- sley maintained. In fact, Councillor Gerry Emm, chairman of the regionai works committee, said that Metro Toronto Councîl did not even inforni Durham of its decision to increase the rates. The region discovered the increase because of an inquiry it received from a private garbage disposai company. Councillor Bruce McArtbur (Oshawa) supported Attersley's position saying that Metro had not given any justification for the sud- den increase in garbage disposai rates. "But they've got the only game in town, so0 we're at their mercy,"l he said.

Studies of ail kinds would have to 'be done and the region would be swam- ped with protests from area residents who wouldn't want the faciiity in their backyard. "It could as much as five years before that site received its first load of garbage," he said adding, "lIt's very costly in the '80's and its oniy going to get more .costly."$ Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard also supported a regionally owned and operated landfiii site. "«Let's start looking for landfil sites dloser to the source," he said. Councillor Jim Witty, chairman of the region's finance committee aiso took a shot at Metro. "lMetro doesn't live by the five per cent, they don't appear to adhere to the five per cent," he said. Councillor Tom Ed- wards told council that the new rates will in- crease Whitby's gar- -bage disposai cost by $18,000 this year.
