Buried
oil tanks
sought

WORKERS WITH the Environment
Youth Corps joined forces with
local fire departments this summer
to hunt out abandoned residential
underground storage tanks
(‘RUSTs”) that may be leaking
oil.

Randy Lake, who supervised a
crew of students working with the
North Vancouver District Fire
Department, says that while 3,000
tanks have been surveyed, it is
estimated that 4,000 more tanks in
the District have yet to be check-
ed.

Thirty per cent of the ones
surveyed by the students were
found to contain significant
amounts of oil and contaminated
water.

Leaking, corroded tanks can
contaminate surrounding soil and
underground streams.

Both North Vancouver District
and West Vancouver had En-
vironment Youth Corps crews
working this summer, and North
Vancouver City plans to have a
crew next year.

A new set of student workers are
now starting work on the project
in North Vancouver District.

For more information, cell your
local fire departmen?t: North Van-
couver District, 980-7575; North
Vancouver City, 980-5021; or
West Vancouver, 922-9311.

A NEW product designed to en-
courage recycling in apanments is
being shown at Capers food store
in West Vancouver on Saturday,
Sept. 14.

The Eco Depo is a melamine
box with oak trim that can be used
to store a blue box and other foose
recyclables. Because the unit can
double as a seat, creator Don

saving apartment dwellers will be
more likely to make room for
recycling in their home.

Apartment dwellers who pur-
chase an Eco Depo will be given a
free blue box. The information
number is 738-8671,

Approximately 75% of the North
Shore’s multi-family complexes
currently have receptacles to
recycle tin and aluminum, glass,
