Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey I'd rather just see them banned Should ban single-use lightweight plastic bags. More options won't cure ignorance. However I would like to see a complete ban on single-use plastic carryout bag. I think they need to be kept out of the ocean and waterways, but they are useful to people like me. Where will I find bags for cat litter without them? If people know how and where to recycle things, I think more would be inclined to do so. Consumers need more of a guideline on this issue not just once but in print, have posted recycling guidelines, and let it be seen over and over again. RECYCLE and use in alternative options like filler for road works, recycle into heavier, more longer lasting bags. No, I think we should not offer them. Most people know what to do with them: take them to grocers like Fred Meyers, etc. or reuse them. I would prefer they were eliminated, not that we create more options for them. If the bags are banned no need for recycling Curbside would be ideal. Often single-use bags are wet or yucky making it disagreeable to schlep them back to the store. Not readily apparent in stores. Sanipac has no option for them. Where do you take the? I'd like to see the trash companies take them. They would not be used. Would prefer a ban, but if they are available, recycling should be as easy as possible Recycling sites need to be clearly visible, perhaps, outside entrances to retail store. I will throw them away no matter what. if more drop offs were seen in different places ,,more people would recycle them We do too much damage to the Earth. Any step away from that is a step forward. And this is already being done elsewhere - it's not a big risk. more stores, I recycle at Winco. would be convenient to have a place for plastic bags at stations where cans and bottles are recycled these bags should be banned. Go to paper bags with a fee and encourage owner bags. I don't think they should be available. I shopped when they were not available, and we survived. not a problem to recycle Grocery stores take them but if we could somehow separate them and put them curbside I think more people might do it Regular recycle pick-up by Sanipac or someone else It needs to be convenient to recycle plastic bags if you want the consumer to do it. Why can't we include them with our garbage recycling? I think every store that provides plastic bags should have a place to deposit them for recycle in and easy to spot location. we should just quit using them Curb side pick up would be ideal but pick up at more retail stores would be a second best option. I guess there are boxes at markets but I seem to have heard that they aren't really recycled. miore education and sites We don't need single-use plastic carryout bags. Right now, it's a special trip out of my way, which means it gets put off into perpetuity, or else sometimes my husband gets fed up and tosses them all in the trash, rather than deal with it. Just need to make people more aware of what options do exist. I feel there are enough already. People need to not use them so much, anyway.
