Letter to the Editor: Grey Highlands looks to make community litter-free

LETTER TO THE EDITOR — Grey Highlands looks to make community litter-free. In my opinion, this is not possible. We do not want the municipality trying to police general tossing and dumping. Maybe educate OK, containers are good, it's not dumping — its tossing as people drive down any road or walk anywhere — that's the problem! It's not just locals. We were in a municipality in southwestern Ontario, in large sports fields area for a day event, couldn't find garbage containers and once, saw an adult walk by a garbage container and drop 'garbage' beside container provided!!!???

Jean Batchelor,

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
