burning and what could be separated with comparative ease.
Deputy Duhamel requested that the Panel approve the renting of
a Sonic Implosion Machine which would reduce glass to small,
safe particles at a cost of £250 per month. The machine was to be RD used to assist in a publicity campaign for the recycling of glass.
