Why do the bags have to be blue transparent or green transparent bags?
The transparency of these bags addresses one of the city’s major concerns—the safety of residents and collection staff. Transparent bags help collection crews identify potential hazards inside the bags, such as broken glass, sharp objects or fire hazards. The colours, blue and green, easily identify whether the contents are wet, or dry, eliminating any need to analyze the contents of the bag at curbside or at the recycling facility.
