Editor: The answer to where to put Toronto’s trash, without dumping more of it at the Ridge Landfill or the proposed dump in the Dresden area isn’t easy.
But my plan would see the reduction of trash coming down Highway 401 in trucks, reduce fuel expenses and whatever other costs are involved in bringing garbage from Toronto to Chatham-Kent.
Yes, once the Ontario Science Centre is moved and the old location demolished, heh, that would be the perfect spot for a garbage dump, right close to Toronto and reduce the travel expenses involved!
Here is another idea. Instead of building a tunnel for traffic under the 401 in Toronto, use those proposed tunnels for storing more of Toronto’s trash. Out of sight, out of mind.
I’m sure Torontonian’s wouldn’t like my idea, but then again there are those of us in Chatham-Kent who would rather Toronto takes its trash and puts it somewhere else, other than Chatham-Kent!
