Ou the North Shore, residents are encouraged to help reach that goal by composting their yard and kitchen waste (which can trim, a single-family home’s garbage by one-third), reducing their use of disposable goods and packaging, and taking recyclables such as scrap metals, appliances, car bat- teries and yard waste t:) the North Shore Transfer Station. Waste reduction should become easier on the North Shore this fall, if a recycling drop-off centre is implemented as planned. The staffed depot would accepr non-blue box recyclables such as mixed waste paper, some plastics, some metals and possibly used motor oil. It is likely that North Shore res- idents will have an increased Inclivation to reduce, reuse and trecyle in the years ahead — the three municipalities will probably be enacting @ three-bag limit on weekly garbage pickup, and free drop-off of residential garbage at the North Shore Transfer Station may be abolished. Such user-pay systems, in which the cost of waste disposal is borne more directly by those people who generate the most waste. are becoming increasingly common and are seen as an effective method of encouraging waste reduction.
