1930: REMEMBERING HAMILTON'S INCINERATOR

TODAY WE HAVE THOSE YELLOW AND GREEN RE-CYCLING CONTAINERS. GARBAGE WAS COLLECTED AND HAULED AWAY TO THE HAMILTON TOWNSHIP INCINERATOR OVER ON PATERSON AVENUE. AS TO THE ASHES, MOST FOLKS BACK THEN BURNED COAL FOR THEIR HOME HEATING. AFTER THE COAL WAS BURNED AND FELL INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FURNACE, THEY WERE SCOOPED UP AND USUALLY PUT IN F GALLON OPEN TOP CANS FOR THE GARBAGE COLLECTOR TO PICK UP.
