, Jim Banagan Bill McGarry Tony Cornell Candidate Candidate Candidate Town Council Town Supervisor Town Council Solving Bethlehem's SoIidWaste Disposal Crisis For some time now, Bethlehem residents have been confronted with an expensive, confu,sing and irksome solid waste collection and disposal policy. The reason for this is simple: there is no real "policy" at all. Privat~ haulers charge top dollar to remove presorted trash which is delivered to the Town for transfer to a recycling facility, in the case ofrecyclable items,or to the ANSWERS system, in the case of non-recyclable items. The Town then pays / a hefty tipping fee to have the recyclable trash accepted by Empire Returns in Syracuse. In other words, Town residents do all the work to clean and separate their trash, pay top dollar for its removal, and face a kaleidoscope of dos and don'ts in regard to making their trash "acceptable" to the haulers, and then the Town pays a ridiculous fee ($32.50 a ton) to provide the end product (saleable materials) to manufacturers.

Questions concerning the logic behidthis state of affairs have recently been eclipsed by the prospect ofa regional landfill being sited within our Town underthe aegis ofANSWERS. Although it is obvious that Bethlehhem,residehts and, for that matter; Town officials, had "~~,,little or no input in the site selection process, the Town Board has adopted a "wait and see" approach, refusing to take any decisive measures to end a politically one-sided relationship.

As candidates of the Democratic Party for the offices of Town Supervisor and Town Council, we propose the following measures to resolve our Town's solid waste disposal problems: '

1. If elected, we would implement a comprehensive, town-wide program for the collection of both trash and wet garbage by the Town and seek to capitalize on the sale of recyclable materials to manufacturers, or at least break even on their disposal. '

2. We would sever the politically lopsided arrangement with ANSWERS and join with neighboring coummunities such as Coeymans to form a smaller, more responsive solid waste 'management group. BILL McGARRY JIMBANAGAN TONY ,CORNELL - VOTE ROW A ~ Vote November 5th -
