Frequently Asked Questions
Why a clear bag for garbage program?
The Municipality of Chester, like the rest of the Province, must reduce their waste by 2015. A clear bag program is the most effective way to do this, both cost-wise and compliance-wise. It is also safer for those who handle waste (haulers and municipal staff). Items concealed in opaque garbage bags, such as needles, propane cylinders, or caustic material are harmful if not seen. We will now be able to identify these items easily and treat them with the necessary precautions.
