i also asked when brown bins would be coming in (plastic) and i got the response "whats a brown bin?"
as for your initial issue, whats the reason for the purple bags? is it some new council scheme of some kind? it can't be a PC thing seeing as every single bin bag you buy commercially is either black or white. (perhaps they want to spruce up the local tip? bit of colour?)

I think I can answer that as some of the neighboring towns have similar schemes. The reason for the purple bags is to distinguish resident trash from non resident trash. Unless I miss my guess the bags cost money, probably more than the normal cost of trash bags (and where do the profits from sales go?) and only residents can buy them right?
