THE SOLUTION IS CLEAR!
Starting October 1, 2010, we are enforcing our new "Clear Bag for Garbage" program and our new bag limit. Please know that each household can still put ONE BLACK GARBAGE BAG out for collection. Any garbage bags over and above ONE BLACK BAG must be clear (with no colour). Also, our sorting and recycling program is UNCHANGED.
Please continue to separate your garbage like you always have. Continue to use blue bags for recyclables if you like. Continue to put your paper in a grocery bag if that's what you are used to doing. Continue to compost as usual.
The new bag limits are 6 GARBAGE, 10 RECYCLABLE BAGS, 1 COMPOST CART.
If you have some difficulty sorting your garbage or have any questions about using clear bags, please contact us by calling 275-2330 or 275-5321.
