Supporting a Clean, Green and Sustainable San Francisco

The Gigantic 3 provides large scale recycling, composting, bulky item and
hazardous waste collection for San Francisco residents. Clean City coordinates
the Gigantic 3 with Norcal Waste Systems, the Department of Public Works,
the Department of the Environment and Goodwill Industries. The program visits
a different San Francisco supervisorial district each month, allowing residents
of that district to schedule a free drop-off.

Electronic equipment contains harmful toxins such as lead and mercury that
can contaminate the environment if not disposed of properly. In order to
keep electronic waste off of our city streets and out of the landfill, Clean
City hosts free electronic waste collection and recycling events for residents
and businesses in San Francisco.

Clean City provides fiscal agency and technical support to cleaning, greening,
beautification and neighborhood improvement projects inMr. Speaker, this summer Constable Philip Francis, a member of the Peel Regional Police who lives in my riding of Cambridge, was awarded the Medal of Bravery.

On September 21, 1994, Constable Francis, with the help of Mr. Robert Fitzgerald, pulled two people from a burning tractor trailer whose fuel tank had ruptured following a collision with a vehicle on Highway 401 near Milton, Ontario.

As the tires of the rig exploded, Mr. Fitzgerald hoisted Constable Francis on to the cab of the truck. The constable smashed the window and pulled two passengers to safety just moments before the rig was completely in flames.

Through his example, Constable Francis has shown that bravery and concern for others are not outmoded virtues.

On behalf of the people of Cambridge, I congratulate Constable Francis
