Separation of curbside trash
will help keep city 'picked up'
By HUGH SHARP
Public Works Superintendent
We have had recycling updates
and litter prevention articles and
surely both are still important
issues in the master plan to keep a
community clean, safe and healthy.
But it is becoming increasingly
important to have citizen
cooperation in the management of
waste and debris generated by
household operations.
SEPARATION OF TRASH AT
CURBSIDE IS WHAT WE ARE
WRITING ABOUT TODAY.
Perry's dry trash landfill has had
to be closed, at least temporarily,
and if it reopens it will be
considerably limited as to the types
of waste allowed. The City is
working with the state authorities
now to find some relief from their
last ruling. . So wc-definitely need
to isolate our various types of
waste so that the collectors can, let
us say, specialize.
The garbage in the green toter
will be handled as usual. The rear
loaders will compact it and take it
all to the county landfill. At
present the county charges a fee of
$20.50 per ton to dump. But trash
from the yard and the household is
the problem. Wh had been loading
it on flatbed trucks and hauling it to
our dry trash facility. NO MORE.
Everything now has to be taken to
Perry Book Browsers meet,
name new officers in April
New officers for the Perry Book
Browsers were named at the meet
ing held April 29 at the New Perry
Hotel.
They are: Evelyn Rosebrock,
President; Betty Fesmire, Vice
IResident; Kay Allen, Secretary; and
Marian Stubbs, Treasurer.
The 32 members present enjoyed a
program given by Betty Gray, who
showed slides of many historical
homes and buildings in the area and
accompanied this with a history of
Perry and Houston County.
Hostesses were: Joan Eubanks,

the county landfill except those
things we are able to recycle cm- chip
up for mulch or make into
compost. So here comes the deal.
Yard trimmings need to be separated
from household debris. Grass in
one pile, leaves in one pile, and tree
limbs in one pile and metal in
another pile. Of course we
recommend grasscycling or leaving
the clippings in the yard. We plan
to chip into mulch as much of the
tree limbs and branches as possible
to keep from having to haul that
stuff to the county landfill. Also,
the mulch is then available to the
public for use in gardens, on paths,
and for animal bedding and pens.
Again, as much as we can, we will
use a leaf and grass vacuum system
to suck up those piles and make
compost out of them. If twigs,
sticks, branches, and limbs are
mixed in with leaves and grass we
will not be able to pick them up.
You can see what that would do to
the vacuum machine. Please
separate them from grass and
leaves.
Now, even household items
should be separated to some extent.
We will continue to store metal for
recycling. So bicycles and
swingsets need to be laid out
separately from mattresses, rugs,
chairs, plastic pools, and items like
Kay Gale, Willene Hall and Opal
McMillan.
On May 26, Norma Cheek, Willie
Grimes, Doris Hulbert and Totsie
Evans served as hostesses. Mary
Tolleson was voted in as a new
member.
Ketus Cawthon entertained the
club with a review of Carolyn
Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning
novel. Lamb in His Bosom. Miller

that. When you have large
appliances to dispose of, please call
us at 987-1911 and we will pick
them up free of charge. They will
be stockpiled for recycling.
The Public Works Department's
goal is to keep Perry picked up.
But your help at home will speed
the process along and allow the
limited crews maximum use of
time and equipment to do the best
job possible, at the least expense
saving you money.
Oh...just a couple of final
thoughts. Please bag pinecones.
Thoe things are mean to pick up
when loose at the curbside. And
remember, old auto tires are your
responsibility. They need to be
taken to the City Barn. Call 987-
1911 for directions and disposal
details.

PPG successful in its
efforts to lower waste
On May 23, PPG Industries'
Perry facility's waste to production
ratio showed a 33 percent decrease,
in 1993 as compared to 1992.
Further, this reduction was realized
in spite of the fact that production
of glass products increased by 58
percent during the same period at
the Perry glass maker.
"This performance exceeded
PPG's goal of reducing wastes by
10 percent last year," said Kris
McGee, Perry's Plant Manager.
"Our factory's 1994 objective is to
reduce total wastes another 10
percent this year." In addition,
McGee said the 1993 results
"included 221 fewer tons of
hazardous waste, 80 percent less
than Perry's 1992 results."
Although 1993 data will be
unavailable until later this year,
Perryans to attend annual
D.A.R.E. Day in Atlanta
By BRENDA THOMPSON
Staff Writer
Perry Police Officer Bill Hathcock and five Perry youngsters, along
with hundreds of others from across the state, will start their summer
vacations in exciting style as they gather in Atlanta for a special
D.A.R.E. Day 1994 celebration June 17 and 18.
The Perry youths participating in the event have all been students
of the local D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program
and were chosen by a drawing held at each of Perry’s five elementary
schools.
Those attending will be Deveon Felder of Momingsidc Elementary;
Ben Hilderbrand of Kings Chapel Elementary; Jamie Jaros of West
field Schools; Danny Deal of Tucker Elementary and Amber Graham
of Perry Elementary.
According to Officer Hathcock, who is the Perry area D.A.R.E. in
structor, the group will leave Perry Friday morning, June 17,
arriving in Atlanta in time for registration and a luncheon at the
Radisson Inn.
From there, they will go to the Georgia Capitol for a special
D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony and will later head to the ball park to
watch the Atlanta Braves take on the Cincinnati Reds.
The following day, the group will enjoy a tour of the famous
World of Coke Museum and will also enjoy lunch at the Hardrock
Cafe of Atlanta before returning to Perry.
The D.A.R.E. Day 1994 trip is being made possible by a number
of local contributors.

McGee said the PPG unit is also
making progress in reducing
releases reported under federal
community right-to-know
requirements. Releases totaled 115
tons in 1992, down seven tons, or
5.7 percent, from 1991.
McGee credits the Perry plant's
associates for putting a lot of effort
in 1993 into finding ways to put
material that had previously been
sent out as waste back into the
process. "Both our quality process
and our company policy require
minimizing waste, a reflection of
PPG's commitment to the
Responsible Care initiative for
chemicals management," McGee
said. "Further reducing waste
benefits the environment, our
community, and makes PPG more
efficient and competitive."
