WASTE COLLECTION
The service of a man, either retired from active business life or who has the time available -to accept the position, is required as secretary of the Wellington Metropolitan Waste Committee, which will be considerably extending its activities, particularly in the collection of waste paper.
Plans are now in hand to collect all available waste paper from commercial firms, offices, and factories in Wellington. The earlier difficulties of shipping and storage space prevented the handling of large quantities of paper. Now that the New Zealand mills are placing big orders for waste paper to convert into new paper the storage problems are eliminated, and instead of collecting an average of 40 tons a month in Wellington, the committee aims to collect 100 tons a month.
The publicity committee is preparing a campaign to advise on paper collection. Managers will be shown how to appoint organisers who will be responsible for the salvage of all paper in their respective groups. The cooperation of the Cleaners' and Caretakers' Union has been promised, and illustrated folders, posters, and a film are being produced to assist the campaign. ■
