What is the Clear Bag Program?
As of September 2005 all items now disposed of in Green/Black/Orange bags will have to be placed in clear bags. The recycling program will continue under the same guidelines as the 2 blue bag recycling system (paper and containers) that is currently in place today, however garbage will be collected in clear garbage bags. The initial voluntary participation phase will allow residents to receive continual assistance and education based on their participation in the program. Haulers will leave notices indicating which items are properly being sorted and which ones are not. Residents are encourage to take advantage of the voluntary participation phase prior to the full compliance deadline in November, as it will help to clarify any questions or uncertainties that residents may have with the program.
