ter. “I talked with everyone in the
shopping center about it last year
and I haven't heard anything about
it since then.”
Tom Free, manager of Joe Nar-
done'’s Gallery of Sound, and ‘Ed
Pietrzak, assistant manager of A&A
Auto Parts, both in the Dallas
Shopping Center, also said that
they hadn't heard anything about
recycling.
“I think recycling is great,” said
Pietrzak. “As far as breaking down
boxes, that would be no problem.
We're just hanging out waiting to
see what happens.”
Janet Lozo, owner of Humphreys
Child Apparel in the Back Moun-
tain Shopping Center, said that
she hadn't received any informa-
tionion recyeling, ‘but it wouldn't
be atiy probleny todo it. +
Larry Spaciano, recycling coor-
dinator for DAMA, said that letters
were sent, or hand delivered to
nearly every business which must
recycle. For businesses located in
large shopping centers, such as
the Back Mountain, or Dallas
shopping centers, Spaciano said
the company which owns the cen-
ter was notified, which may ac-
count for the bewilderment of
business people there.
“All we need by September 26, is
what kind of program they're going
to initiate. If there's a delay, that's

not going to be a problem,” said
Spaciano. “Well over half of the
businesses have responded.”
“I personally delivered a lot of
letters,” said Spaciano, who was
called for jury duty on September
23, just days before the recycling
deadline. “Hopefully I can be fin-
ished by Wednesday (September
25), and get back to work.”
Joe Bren, a manager at Solomon
Industries, which has approxi-
mately 50 commercial accounts in
the Back Mountain, would have
liked to have seen a meeting be-
tween DAMA and the haulers about
business collection.
“Other towns, they just don't
send a letter to their customers,”
said Bren. “We've attended quite a
few meetings as far as recycling,
where théy get a group of haulers
together and you sit down and
discuss it.”
Paul Titus Jr., general manager
of Endless Mountains Disposal is
spending time on the road, inform-
ing his 100 business customers of
the recycling requirements.
“We're trying to see as many
people as quickly as possible,” said
“In May, we sent letters to
most of the commercial accounts
hoping they'd get started before the
deadline. About half a dozen have
been doing it for a little over a year

While the some of the smaller
businesses may be off to a rocky
start with recycling, many of the
Back Mountain's large manufac-
turers are running ahead of the
recycling law.
“As far as recycling goes, this
isn't something new to us,” said
Glenn Harvey, maintenance super-
visor for Native Textiles. “We bale
all of our cardboard. We generate
probably six trailer loads a year.
Scrap material is shipped down
south where it's recycled.”
“Office supplies, we're looking
into,” said Harvey. “I think at this
time, we're not exactly sure how
. we're going to do it. We don’t gen-
erate a lot of office waste. We're a
manufacturing Facility, not an of-
fice.”
Offset Papettack Yi Plyne
Precision Color Graphics have also
been recycling for several years.
Ed Janosik, plant superinten-
dent for Payne Color Graphics
estimates that 80 percent of the
waste the company creates is re-
cycled.
“We bale our paper and send it
to Chicago,” said Janosik. “The
aluminum (printing) platesare sold
and recycled.”

a garbage hauler before this pro-
gram?” asked Zukowsky.
About 15 residents raised their
hands.
Members of the Association also
discussed the September 16 meet-
ing of the committee formed to
investigate complaints about
DAMA's waste collection plan.
Among the things discussed at the
committee's meeting were grant-
ing exemptions from the program
for people who could not afford to
pay the $135 charge.
“A lot of you may have heard
that I was unhappy with the meet-
ing,” said Zukowsky, who was
chosen as a citizen representative
on the committee. “I was only
unhappy because we could only
talk about what they wanted to
talk about. They're bringing, up
issues about making changes to
the contract. I don't want the con-
tract.”
“We're supposed to ask you how
many of you consider yourself a
hardship case,” said Zukowsky.
“I'm sure we all consider ourselves
hardship cases because we don't
want to participate in the program.”
“When it comes time for me to
vote on an issue on the DAMA
Danella Contract, I'm going to say
no way,” said Zukowsky. “They tell
us they can't make changes - but
they're talking about making
changes for hardship cases.” :
“I'm a little different,” said Jim
Fowler, who was the other citizen
- representative from Kingston
Township at the meeting. “Basi-
cally I felt it was a good meeting.
That meeting we went into blindly.
We didn't know if we were going te.
sit with them, sit in the back of the
room, or look in through the win--
dows. They sat down and talked
with us, which they didn’t do be-.
fore.”
“If we open up the door a little
bit, it'll go further,” said Fowler. “I
want the contract gone and that’s
all I want. But if they give us this
and they give us that, then why
can't we turn it around and say: 1
want my private hauler.”
“Most of them are trying to don
good thing for the people,” said’
. Fowler, referring to the mimicipal
officials who authorized the pro-
gram.
“They thought in their own
minds that it was the best thing’
they ever did,” said Zukowsky. “I'm
not against the people whowant to
use it - but what about the people.
who don’t want to use it?”
“They didn't research it enough,” i
said Fowler. pete
Fowler also encouraged resi-:
dents to send back their question-..
naires so DAMA will know how,
unhappy they are. A
