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.

Sure, which is why a nationwide plan should have room for local variations. Almost all waste collection is fairly localized and managed by non-national entities, so cities and regions can have their own policies for dealing with specific items.
