It seems the issue of the clear bags has resurfaced for some Airdrie residents.

According to the City's Waste and Recycling Department, a bizarre scam has hit some in the City as the new waste rules come into effect.

Residents received a call from a person claiming to be from the City of Airdrie, demanding that they examine their clear bags as illegal items might be in them.

Waste and Recycling confirmed that they're not the ones making these calls and if you receive one, report it immediately. So far only a few reports have come to the City department who are looking into the incidents.
