Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey I recycle all I can. It would be nice to be able to gather them together in one bigger plastic bag and put them in the co-mingled recycling and have them picked up by sanitation services. It's not that big of a deal to just take them to the store, though. If we continue to use single-use plastic carryout bags, I do feel we need more recycling option. I would like to see them phased out. Juat ban them... I think their use should be banned so we don't need recycling options. While the intention is honorable, recycling single-use plastic bags has only a minimal impact on environmental consequences. These bags need to eliminated. Not for me, but those who aren't currently recycling may need other options to encourage them to do it. Its easy to recycle at the store We don't use enough to need more options They are unnecessary in the first place, so we shouldn't envest more in infrastructure to recycle them I think most people do not recycle because they need to think, be inconvienienced and change their practice-- more options would change the community culture and remind people to recycle If we could include them with our other recycling, I believe more people would recycle them. The more convienent and accessable, the more they will be used Yes, however phasing out single-use plastic bags from circulation would eliminate the need for more recycling options. It would be nice if Sanipac took these as part of the recycle. More places to deposit them. But more importantly, more education about the problems they produce when they aren't recycled/disposed of properly. I think it would be far better to discontinue using them if possible. As I understand it, "recycling" these bags isn't true recycling. And it's still a polluting process to turn them into something else. Yes, if that is what it would take. I don't want to see them banned. It would be a hardship to some people. I wish I could use my current recycling service (comingled via Sanipac) I think they need to go away -- I can use paper bags just as a plastic bag (for 2nd garbage bags in the bathrooms) but they are better, they break down faster in the land fill. Whatever it takes. I think there are adequate options at this time It's not cost effective. I think they should be banned altogether. Include with curbside recycle They should be banned Plastic grocery bags are a tiny part of the flow of plastic to the landfill. Recycling often goes by weight and they weigh essentially nothing. The more options, the more action. Not sure on details however. I miss the Sanipac collection of plastic bags I also think we need to ban them and start educating people on how to use other things. it is way too easy to not think about what goes with a bag. retailers always assume things need to go in a bag. it would be wonderful for the next generation to be more conscious of our natural world and resources! It is great thing to teach. I reuse the for bathroom and laudry trash. Yes, but the best option--for the sake of this and future generations living in this valley--would be to stop producing this vile, life-denying product.
