DISPOSAL OF HOUSE REFUSE.
There is at present no Dust Destructor in the District.
My Council undertakes a weekly collection of house
refuse with their own plant, excepting in the Mill Hill
district, where the work is done by my Council's contractor.
Throughout the year 170 complaints were received at
the Sanitary Office with respect to the non-removal of dust
on the day for collection. Shortage of labour at the latter
end of the year accounted for many complaints being received.
The dust collected was, as far as possible, delivered at
the Railway Stations, and deposited on railway trucks for
conveyance to a suitable shoot down the line.
Until a Dust Destructor is established nuisances from
Dust Shoots will from time to time arise.
