The main reason to allow plastic bags as a bagging option to dispose of food scraps and dog poop in the green bin is the “yuck” factor for many residents.

This factor is the main deterrent for people from using the green bin. A recent market survey found 60 per cent of people who either never or seldom use the green bin would use it weekly if plastic bags were permitted as a bagging option.

When people don’t use the green bin, those same plastic bags and compostable food and paper items all end up in the landfill. With the plastic bag option, we will be able to capture those organic materials and divert them from the landfill – saving millions in developing a new landfill and lowering our greenhouse gas emissions.
