Tin Can Collections
Put on Monthly Basis
For D. {. Apartments

ment houses on a monthly basis has
been decided on by the District Sal
wage Committee to save time and
effort, according to Horace Walker.
executive secretary.
He said collections of prepared tin
cans here has not been satisfactory
for various reasons and the new
method will be tried this month
However, he added, the regular coll
lection from registered apartments

of the monthly gatherings will be
made August 26. Thereafter, he said
collections will be made regularly on
the last Thursday Of each month.
Collections, made by trucks of the
bottling industry here, will include
apartments of four families or more
Mr.. Walker called on managers of
the apartments to give the commit
tee full cooperation by designating
a special place for tenants to leave
tin cans.
He asked resident managers and
janitors to place a receptacle in
front Of the apartment on collec-
ton days and in a place which will
not obstruct the sidewalk.
Meanwhile, he added, the regular
collections by District refuse trucks
VIII be made at private homes.
While pointing out that private
homes have been maintaining a
high average in returns, he said
apartments have been far below ex-
pected quotas and a special drive
IS being made to interest apartment
residents in increasing their contri-
buttons to the drive.
Mr.. Walker warned that only tin
cans which have been washed out
and f1attened will be accepted. Be-
cause OF cost and labor involved
paint, oil, varnish, floor polish and
cone-shaped cans are not wanted
for salvage since they are too dim
cult to reclaim.
