Finance Director Gerlach irill diseuss this matter further with the Finance Committee regarding payment of overcharge. Mr. Speedling, Chairman EnvironmeataI Cantrol CommitCee, reported th3s Committee met on May 3rd. Twv majas items Were discussed: 1) re - "Scavenger Ordinance" enacted by Fairview Park City C6un.cii. Mare time is needed to studp this ordinance and is being held in Committee for additional investfgatian. 2) re - Solid Waste Disposal. Comfttee is deeply coacerned with all aspects of environmental control and agree that one of the biggest problems we face ie that of Qolid waste disposal. Committee feels that the eveutual solution to this problem will be recycling or reclamati.on of waste uaterials. Mariq Ynethod,a of recyc].ing have been studied ia the past 18 - 24 months. All of them were fouttd to he too costlq for North Olmsted to operate independently; further, none of thea have really been proJen succeasful. Iiawever, there is oae way we can and should move naw; to reduce the amount of solid waste that is being buried in land fills. This Cvmpiittee is recommending that the Service Director eatablish a "test area" in the Cfty. When tiie area has been se].ected, the resideats in the test area to be notified that beginning on a certain date, they will he asked to coogerate with the City by separating their rubbish in the following way: All G1ass to be rinsed aad kept in a segarate cantainer; AI1 Cans to be atripped of l.abels - rinsed - both ends removed and the can flatteaed snd kept in ssp8rate container; Newspapers and magazines to be kept separate and bundled for *e.i.ectian. A1.1 af these materials wi11 be collected and takea to various facil.f.tias for recl8m?ation. This will reduce conaidersbly the remaining amounts of rubbish ta be taken to the land filt. During the trial period, hope to determiae two facts: (a) additioaal cost to the City of separate collec- tions, and (b) williYtgness of citi$ens to cooperate in order to find a workable solution to the soiid waste groblem.
