BLUE BAGS PLEA FROM GOV'T GVT Blue bags plea from Gov't Government waste manager Mr. Dan Hoornweg yesterday appealed to residents not to put regular trash in the blue bags which were sent to all households and meant for cans and bottles only.

He also appealed to stores not to sell non-clear blue bags so residents would not accidentally buy them when they run out of the bags provided by Government as an introductory step.

Mr. Hoornweg said recyclables in blue bags that were not see-through would unfortunately have to be picked up along with the regular trash and taken to the dump.

Apart from those hitches, Mr. Hoornweg said the recycling scheme was going well.

"Obviously there are some teething problems, but nothing larger than expected,'' he said.

Although Government chose to buy its blue bags from Bermuda Janitorial Supplies, any store can import blue bags. And residents can buy any type of blue bag, as long as it is see-through.
