Notice to Residents: Clear Garbage Bag Program
List of Local Clear Garbage Bag Retailers

Residents who are found not using clear garbage bags or garbage bags that contain more than 25% of recyclable material will be refused entry.

We encourage our residents to recycle more material, helping us to divert waste from our Transfer Station Sites.

Residents are permitted one small “privacy bag” within each clear bag for their personal items. This will provide an adequate method to enable residents to shield material that they would prefer not to be exposed. Such items may include sanitary products, diapers, incontinence products, financial information, medical objects or other personal items.

Thank you for your cooperation.
