Garbage not Guilt...
The Goedzak
Waarmakers is an Amsterdam based design agency that developed a transparent garbage bag for items that are still usable. People passing by can check the content and take it home if they wish. The name of this special garbage bag is Goedzak which means both ‘good bag’ and ‘do-gooder’ in Dutch. According to designers Simon Akkaya and Maarten Heijltjes, their concept is a friendly way to give products a second chance and stimulate sustainable behavior.

A Dutch company created this clear "Goedzak" bag for stuff that you don't want but is still in too good a condition to be trash. "Goedzak" means "do-gooder" in Holland. (via Dezeen)
Goedzak sustainable rubbish sacks by Waarmakers Dutch designers Waarmakers have created sustainable rubbish sacks for discarding unwanted items in good condition, in the hope that they'll be picked up by a new owner instead of ending up at a landfill site. http://bit.ly/13lp9XA
Dutch designers Waarmakers have created sustainable rubbish sacks for discarding unwanted items in good condition, in the hope that they'll be picked up by a new owner instead of ending up at a landfill site.
Once full, the bags with transparent panels are left in the street along with normal refuse so passers-by can pick them up and make use of their contents. The items are kept clean and dry but still visible, and if they remain in place when the refuse collection truck passes then they will be taken away with the rest of the rubbish.
Interesting idea ... though, plastic(?).
