one councillor suggested that the program be scrapped in favour of encouraging

citizens to take matters into their own hands.

Citing ongoing abuse of the $15,000 springtime collection, Councillor Paul Emile

Duval recommended the service be dropped. However, colleagues rejected the notion,

contending the expense was a good investment and that cancelling the program would

penalize the elderly. Certain residents and businesses misuse the service by leaving

“truckloads” of large trash out for pick-up, said Duval. For example, the township had

ordered an unapproved dump near the railway tracks south of Pleasant Corners to be

cleaned up. The trash was trucked to Highway 34, and dumped on the shoulder,

ostensibly to be picked up during the special collection. Most people can do their own

clean-up and hauling, Duval contended. “We could open the dump for a few weekends

so people could truck their stuff there themselves,” he suggested. But colleagues such

as Councillor Pierre Perreault said the clean-up cost only about $2 per capita. “This is

a good investment. It would be better to keep the program rather than have that garbage

end up in the ditch.” Councillor Gerry Miner added that many elderly people cannot

take their own trash to a landfill site. “We would be hitting the people who need it.”
