Bags and bins at curbside for pick up in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia.  In 2008, the town introduced new regulations whereby only one non-transparent bag of garbage could be put at curbside.  Additional garbage is put in clear bags (with recycling in blue transparent bags).  Other municipalities in Nova Scotia saw a increase in recycling and composting when limits were placed on the number of non-transparent bags permitted at curbside.
