CLEAR BAGS FOR GARBAGE

What is a clear bag? It is a plastic bag that is completely see through or transparent. 

What to clear bags have to do with recycling?

Clear bags help boost recycling efforts in the community because people will be more apt to recycle due to social pressure and the actual clear bag itself serves as a prompt for people to recycle. It also makes it easier for the garbage collectors to ensure that no garbage containing recyclables or HHW is collected.

Starting in 2008, residents of Centre Hastings and Madoc Township will be required to use clear  bags for garbage. It should not contain any recyclables or household hazardous waste. For more information, please go to www.quinterecycling.org.
