Also attending was Mr. Mike Bailie of the Mount Lorne Garbage Management Society to speak on the Mount Lorne Dump experience and Mr. Don Ford who currently holds the contract to maintain the Marsh Lake Dump. Discussion Summary: If Marsh Lake residents wish to improve the present situation at the Dump, the community will need to gain control. This could be achieved through gating and staffing, which will help assure garbage and materials brought to the dump are placed in the proper designated areas. With a small recycling centre, the Mount Lorne Dump was able to access funding for a shed and fund a percentage of their operations as a non-profit society. The Community needs to take control, make a number of decisions as to the direction the community wishes the dump to proceed, create a plan, and present it to YTG to obtain initial funding.
