No logical reason. And perhaps other cities, seeing the success of Calgary's methods, might copy it.

I suspect the amount of grocery bags that get re-used as garbage bags is pretty minimal unless you just churning through an unbelievable amount of garbage.
No clue on these Co-op bags, or Calgary's green bin program - but at least around here we haven't had a green box program because they cost a bunch of money to implement/maintain. So these bags here in Ontario where I am would just get thrown out. Its difficult to implement a national program when what gets collected is different everywhere.
