However, this method has met, with liniited success' due ta, a number- of problems. Recyclable materials must meet very stringent quality requirements in order ta b. substituted for primary resources in manufacturing industries. Wbile steel can b. easily remnoved from a co-mingled mixture lby the use of a magnet, separating the other materials represents difficulties. A major prablem is the large amount of breakage of glass bottles which occurs during collection and processing. This breakage flot 'oly presents a safety hazard for workers but aIse makes separation of the broken glass from fragments of broken non-glass items such 'as china and drinldng glasses virtually impossble.% Given the marketable glass may not contain any china or non- container glass, attempting to separate these items once broken generally does flot produce market qua]ity glass. As you may recaîl, the City of Toronto bas been forced to landflll qa ntities of their ' glass due -ta contamination during; their co-mingled collection. Co-operation from residents in preparation of materials. is important for the efficient collection of marketable material. Residents are asked ta put glass bottles and. jars boa. in the bottom of the box with al netal lids removed; food and soft drink cana and plasticeso" drink bottles s3hould b. placed ti a plastic bagu- in the box~, newspaper should b;. tied or baggd then placed beside or on top of the box Please include onl y #lass bottles and jars; no other types of -glussî- or ceramic materials "are' acceptable. Following these guidelines as well as oeil yptting your box at the curbwen it is, full will allow our drivers ta b. as efficient as existing systems allow. W.' will continue to monitor technology and market specifications carefulfly in order ta' implement more efficient methods of collection and- processing.. sue Cowey Per Board of Dfrector Durham Recydùin Centr publis~ ed every Wednesday By $77209 Ontario Imc.
