Although it is an arguable topic whether blood is ever truly blue at one point or not, we'll just go along with the common lesson that "blue blood" is blood that is not oxygen-rich. This blue blood is carried in the pulmonary artery, where it is taken to the lungs in order to obtain oxygen, where it is then sent back to the heart, then sent to the rest of the body.

All vessels containing blood would have red blood; in arteries and in veins and smaller vessels.The blue appearance of veins is an optical illusion that comes from the way light works on skin.

It has nothing to do with oxygenation of blood in arteries and all to do with the properties of light and skin.
Are your arteries blue because of they carry blood with wastes?
arteries are blue because they carry blood away (a for away) from the heart, so the blood is highly oxygenated. When the blood goes around the body is becomes redder in colour as it is losing its oxygen to various muscels via capillaries. So no, the blood in arteries is not blue because it carries waste, it is blue because of the high oxygen levels in it. Blood can carry some waste though which gets taken i think to the kidneys.
