Toxic waste plan
Christchurch City councillors agree with a Metropolitan Refuse Disposal Committee plan for dealing with toxic and hazardous wastes. The City Council’s clean air and health committee said yesterday that a toxic wastes officer should be appointed for a year, with salary paid by the metropolitan committee and the Christchurch Drainage Board, to co-ordinate disposal. After a year’s trial, a
formula for disposal fees could be prepared. A panel would be formed to advise on the recycling, treatment, and disposal of wastes. Under metropolitan committee proposals, a secure storage building would be provided to hold smaller quantities of toxic wastes until they were collected in sufficient quantities for disposal, or until an agreement could be reached on disposal techniques.
