“My position on gar- bage and the Premier St. landfill goes back some years. On assuming the mayor’s chair, my first recommendation to counci} was to establish a solid waste committee to look at the Premier Street landfill operations and alternatives for garbage disposal. Council voted unanimously to close Premier St. by year end, an action | heartily en- dorse. We do not con- sider it a suitable site and there are alternatives.

that’s not the dollars we're talking about right now. The transfer of North Shore waste to Burns Bog under the GVS and DD agreement until October, 1986 would be approximately $25 per household per year.

‘‘After that time, we can transfer to a newly established eastern lan- diflll site and if our pres- ent studies of air quality and gas flue emissions for incineration show no significant environmental impact we may be burn- ing our garbage on the North Shore with state of the art technology by 1990.

“J know the fandfill site will be closed. It is tiny job to do everything possible to achieve the objectives stated in coun- cil’s resolution.”
