Hi there. You may want to check out what's going on in Nova Scotia, where most of the municipalities are going with blue bags. Here are some sites for you to visit:

The Halifax Regional Municipality: http://www.region.halifax.ns.ca/wrms/index.html

The Resource Recovery Fund Board: www.rrfb.com

Nova Scotia Environment and Labour: http://www.gov.ns.ca/enla/

Hope this helps.

Subject:	[GreenYes] Alternatives to  "Traditional" Curbside Recycling

I'm doing some research on alternatives to "Traditional" curbside recycling that would require a special coll'n vehicle for recyclables, or an automated multi-purpose vehicle.  Does anyone know of communities that have successfully implemented recycling programs using "dirty MRFs", blue-bag programs (I am aware of Chicago's program and a few others, but would be particularly interested in very successful programs) or even a community that has implemented a very successful drop off program?  Any leads would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
