I(GENERATIO PRR 2 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, July 17, 1991 Defends (continued from page 1) added. program does that.” He said he understood the concerns raised by some of the smaller haulers but added that it might be too late to begin complaining. “This recycling isn't a new idea and the haulers have to understand that,” said Chadwick. “Act 101 was approved in 1988 and in February of 1989 there was a meeting in the Back Mountain to discuss recycling and what would have to be done." Chadwick said the meeting was set up for local officials, members. of the Back Mountain Citizen's Council and waste haulers. “The topic was recycling and what was coming down the pike and what things would have to be done,” he said. “There were a number of citizens there but only two haulers spoke up and they took the opinion then that they weren't going to go along with any of this.” Chadwick said that it may have been that type of attitude that has hurt some haulers now. “We tried to explain then that recycling was coming, it is a good thing and (the haulers) had better find a way to deal with it or they would find themselves in a bad position,” he The importance of recycling and why it should be done is the important issue at stake, according to Chadwick. “We can't just keep dumping things like we did '10 years ago,” he said. “We need to give people an incentive to recycle and it seems like the DAMA Recycling (continued from page 1) Some residents and local haul- ers are fighting the DAMA program saying they should have a choice of haulers and that the program is being forced upon them. Complaints such as these have . not been heard at Harveys Lake. “To my knowledge we haven't re- ceived any complaints like that,” “said Harveys Lake councilman Joseph Sgarlat. “Most of our com- plaints come about when the hauler leaves some garbage, but it isn't often.” Sgarlat said that the municipal hauling program has helped to keep ~ the price of garbage in the borough one of the lowest in the Back Mountain. “Every year this comes up for bid and we always go with the lowest bid,” said Sgarlat. “That way we serve the community the best way we can and I think itis the right thing to do.” During the last four years the borough has changed haulers three times in an effort to keep fees low. The garbage fee for Harveys Lake residents is $85 annually per home and was not raised when the bor- ough began it's contract this year with Solomon. Some of the Back Mountain residents fighting the DAMA pro- gram say they will continue with their own haulers and will not pay the bills sent by DAMA. No similar complaints have come to light at Harveys Lake, according to officials. Solicitor “Charles McCormick said that there have been cases of residents not paying bills but it was not a protest to the hauler. “I don’t believe we have had a case like this,” said McCormick. “We have gone after some residents but it wasn't because they were fight- ing the hauler.” McCormick said that the bor- ough has taken legal action against residents who haven't paid the garbage fees and has been suc- cessful in doing so. Sgarlat said that cooperation from borough residents also has made the program successful. “We are looking out for the residents but they also play a big part in this,” he said. “Itis the 100 percent participation from residents that keeps this going and we can thank them for helping keep the fees low.” In Kingston Township, Box said that he hopes the program can get the same success from residents. “We are trying to keep costs as low as possible,” he said. “People think we are mandating a private hauler but that is not the “case,” added Box. “We have man- dated a municipal pickup and it is not what people are making it out to be.” Box said that the three munici- palities made an agreement with DAMA to run the program and a bid structure was used to deter- mine the hauler. “It's not like we went out and bought a truck and hired some people to do the work,” said Box. “We advertised for bids to keep the costs’ lower than if we did do the work ourselves.” Dallas Twp. class picnic set for July 27 The Dallas Township Class of 1951 will be holding its 2nd annual picnic on Saturday, July 27 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Bubbles Martin's Grove on Route 309 in Kunkle.
