Resolution

WHEREAS landfills are a very costly and inefficient means of managing waste, requiring continual maintenance, rat control and large tracts of land;

WHEREAS modern incinerators are capable of reducing the volume of waste to a fraction of the amount that sits in landfills in the form of raw garage;

WHEREAS the use of incinerators could easily be cost shared among RMs, Towns and Cities across Saskatchewan;

BE IT RESOLVED that APAS approach the Ministry of Environment to consider the use of incinerators to reduce the amount of waste in landfills and minimize the health risks posed by raw garbage sitting in landfills.
