The politicians of this town have the archaic mentality that anything green will challenge resource use. What recycling we had was all by volunteer effort and it appears that this may now collapse. Any help at all would be very valuable so that I might be able to better present to the politicians.

I just received this response from Hector Macmillan, mayor of Trent Hills Please contact The County Of Northumberland in Ontario. All contacts can be obtained from their website at www.northumberland.ca The County government is now responsible for all waste management and recycling in Northumberland County and had one of the first material recycling facilities in Canada so I understand. Even today, it may be refitted for efficiencies and expansion in the near future.

You might try checking with Trent Hills. I believe there was recycling in Campbellford , then about 3,000 people, before it was amalgamated into Trent Hills.
