(Continued from page 1) Ambrose Gavigan said of waste disposal last week, “You cannot just throw it (trash) into a pit (landfill) and forget about it. Today, you have posal.” ~ According to Potzer, who was nar by Dallas Borough secretary Thomas Bagley and Dallas Town- ship supervisor Phillip Walter, a comprehensive waste disposal plan is needed if the Back Mountain is to continue to grow. “We (Back Mountain) need an efficient disposal plan in order for the Back Mountain to progress,” Potzer said. “The landfill concept is dying out. We need to find another alternative.” Potzer said a possible alternative to landfilling at WSLA is to con- struct a “Transfer Station’, which compacts garbage into small bun- dles. The smaller garbage bundles cost less to landfill. Wilkes-Barre City currently operates a transfer station near Stanton and Empire streets and then transfers the com- pressed garbage to Amity Landfill, Taylor, where they only pay $3.50 per cubic yard. ““A transfer station is one idea we will look into,” said Potzer. ‘But, you must understand that today’s technology is constantly changing.

Dallas residents Joseph and Jean for their efforts in helping military families. Joseph Grimes also received recognition for his efforts as the Red Cross transportation coordinator for the back mountain. A a Shavertown resident Harold Shelly, Kingston Township’s Neigh- borhood Crime Watch Coordinator, received a special plaque for his efforts in the Red Cross blood serv- ices and disaster categories. George McCutcheon of Dallas received a plaque for his efforts in fund raising for the Red Cross. Said Chairman Cartier of McCutcheon’s fund raising efforts, “George did a magnificent job in fund raising. His fund raising efforts were fun, with- out the ‘D’. They really were a lot of fun,” said Cartier. One of the rund raising project was the Dallas Kiwanis’ ‘“‘Buck-A- Bowl” ticket sale, in cooperation with Franklin's restaurant near the 4 & Dallas Shopping Center. The Dallas Kiwanians sold ‘“Buck-A-Bowl”’ tick- ets to area residents for $1 and they received a free bowl of soup, cour- tesy of Franklins restaurant. Jean. Herron, coordinator of the office of volunteers for the Red Cross, said, “Throughout this year I have met a lot of good people and we appreciate everything you do. You are the people who make it work.” Dr. Elwood Jacoby, Wyoming Valley Red Cross Chapter Chairman said, “I would like to join in with the others in congradulating you all for a rather unique individual effort. In effect, you have all Beiped 4 the A transfer station may not be feasi- ble a few years from now.” Another alternative the BMSWC is looking into is the concept of “Resource Recovery.’”’ Resource recovery involves an incineration plant where the garbage is burned and then produces electricity.

Resource recovery would require municipalities to combine their efforts into a resource recovery authority, similar to the Dallas Area Municipal Authority. “In forming . this committee (BMSWC) and attending this semi- nar, we have taken the first step,” said Potzer. ‘We know we have a problem and we are now looking for solution. That is a positive step.” The West Side Landfill, Potzer said, is currently experiencing major financial and management problems which threaten the stabil- ity of the authority.
