Why clear bags for garbage?
We have switched to clear bags to increase the amount of recyclables and organics and decrease what is ending up in the landfill. We know that there are still people who are not participating in our recycling and composting programs. The use of clear bags makes it simple to inspect bags for banned materials. We have been recycling since 1996 yet after 10 years have still not reached the provincial target of 60% diversion.
