Do I have to use transparent green and blue garbage bags?
To participate in the WET/DRY Program you must use transparent green and blue bags. The transparency of these bags addresses one major concern - the safety of residents, garbage collectors and the staff who sort the waste because potential hazards inside the bags can be easily identified.
Furthermore, the green and blue transparent bags have proven to be the key to successful waste diversion in other areas. The colors provide important visual reminders when discarding your waste and the transparency ensures lower levels of waste stream contamination. In the home, at the curb, and at all related sorting facilities, there is no confusion about the bag contents.
