Council Minutes of 12/18/90 approximately $400,000. Recycling in North Olmsted will probably begin in 1992. However, our efforts will amount to taking the recyclable materials and getting them to a manufacturer who can convert them into a product. Goverr~nt efforts, at all levels, will do no more than try to convert some of the lost natural resources. The saving of the planet will come from individual consumers who must learn to forgo throw-away goods. Consumers-must de9naaxi the market for recycled goods. In an effort to help create a market for recycled goods, we passed an ordinance that allows the City to purchase goods manufactured from recycled materials. Other governments are taking similar action. After investigating the various methods of recycling, we feel the most efficient arr3 effective is being installed by BFI in Russia Township. This facility will be available for use in 1992. North Olmsted is committed to recycling; if we don't do it through the income tax, we will probably consider a user fee. The most practical and the most prudent course is the one we are now following; it will provide for recycling and still allow us to address other needs within the City. Mr. McKay extended an invitatc~ to Brittany to attend the next meeting of the Westshore Cities Solid Waste Committee on January 23, 7:30 p.m., at the Rocky River City Hall. Mrs. Babas said that as consumers we are responsible for what we bring into our homes. Anew book, Fift W s How to Rec cle would be a good Christmas gift for every farm y. suggestions t 's book will help everyone make adjustments in their life-styles.
