NEW LIFE Recycling
has lost its contract to
collect newspapers in

North Vancouver
District but the
company’s president
vows his firm isn’t
licked yet.

District council voted

Monday to terminate an
eight week trial contract
under which it paid New Life
$7 for every ton of newsprint

collected in the mun-
icipality. The contract
expires Friday.

New Life President Bruce
Culver agreed to the con-
tract though he said his
company was still losing
money under it.

But District § staff ex-
pressed scepticism about the
service's value. Deputy
Engineer Harry McBride
said the recycling wasn't
bringing much benefit to the
District and Director of
Financial Services Mel
Palmer expressed concern
about the company's
financial figures.

Council voted
unanimously to terminate
the cight week trial contract
and to call for tenders to see
what other'companies were

interested in providing the
service. District- will also
discuss with West ‘Van-
couver that municipality's
idea of a North Shore-wide
recycling service. |

McBride said the amount
of newspaper collected by
New Life would only extend
the expected 40 year life of
North Van's dump by eight
months.

Palmer said in his report
he was dubious about New
Life after discussing the
company with West Van-
couver. He said he was
concerned about the ex-
penses claimed by New Life,
the salaries drawn by Culver
and his wife, and was also
concerned that New Life's
balance sheet only showed
1981 figures.

He also noted that Inter-
national Paper Industries
Ltd. had offered to enter into
a 10 year contract with the
District for the same service
provided by New Life, but at
no cost te the municipality.

Alderman Peter Powell
said International Paper
seemed “like a highly ef-
ficient group” to him and
that the company was
“prepared to take a short

term loss for a long term |

gain.”
But Culver was sceptical
about International Paper's

‘

ability to do the service. The
company doesn’t own any
trucks itself, he told the
News, and would have to
contract with a company
such as New Life to provide
the service anyway.

Culver said he
present another
District before the end of
this week to try to revive the
service. The company,
though * “still losing a lot of
money,” has a contract with
West Vancouver to pick up
recycling materials, he
added. -

However, he said he’s so
disgusted with the District's

woule

attitude that he’s been
thinking of getting out of the
business altogether.

North Van District hasn't
bothered to promote the
recycling service, and this
has been a major reason for
the company’s financial
plight, Culver said. _-
