Dump deadline midnight
By ZEN RURYK, CITY HALL BUREAU CHIEF
With a midnight deadline set for tonight, Toronto officials are working to clear a major hurdle in the city's controversial plan to buy a London-area dump.
Mayor David Miller said yesterday he didn't see any imminent danger of the dump deal falling through.
City council adopted a plan in September to spend $220 million to buy the Green Lane landfill. Negotiators have been trying to hammer out a purchase agreement before the offer expires at midnight.
If the deal goes through, the city will take possession of the dump in the spring, despite opposition from many.
"I anticipate a successful result throughout (the purchasing process), but in any negotiation with anything this complex -- with so many variables -- I wouldn't want to prejudge," Miller said.

Garbage Dump In Our Own Backyard
Rather than throwing garbage over our neighbor's fence why don't we look after it in our own backyard......how about taking over part of the Toronto islands? If this plan was proposed I will bet that construction of an incinerator would start the next morning.
