Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey Sanipac needs to accept them maybe have another small bin like they have for glass See rpevious question's "Other" We just need to get rid of the bags...no bags, no recycling needed. The option to recycle at my grocery store is sufficient for me. curbside comingle? Yes, also the bags that the newspaper comes in. I have a huge stash of those waiting to be recycled. I was not aware that they could be recycled, except for at the store... Make recycling easy and inexpensive and most people will dot it. If everyone would recycle them they wouldn't end up in places where they shouldn't be. as long as there are plastic garbage baga available in any form they will still be used and end up in the gaebage I think that curbside recycling should also take plastic bags. single use bags are a waste of resources. Reduce. It would be very handy to be able to return them to the stores where I received them for recycling. Plastic bags should be banned and not used. They hurt wild animals and the environment. It's cheaper for the industry to manufacture new plastic bags out of virgin plastic, so most don't actually get recycled, they are actually down cycled, which means that they are turned into other products, but mostly never into another bag. Unless there is a way to include them in curbside recycling it seems like this is a mute point. People either don't know they are supposed to bring them to stores for recycling or don't care. Most likely it's better just to ban them. I think we should ban them, but short of that I think city recycling should pick them up separately, along with clamshell containers, etc. At the very least, better education to where they can be recycled should be provided. we were asked not to include them in our mixed recycling so I stopped putting them in. I don't recycle things at home that do not go in the general bin that Lane Apex picks up They need to be accepted universally in co-mingled curbside pickup because we reuse them and reuse them. Hate to cut down trees for paper bags---- We shouldn't use them at all. Sanipac, & the other refuse collector's, should offer to recycle them It would be helpful if Sanipac accepted them. Don't know what others would use them for but I use them in place of store-bought trash bags. Curbside pick-up should handle these...unless they already do? I don't have this service. I live 2 miles from a transfer station, but the closest one that takes plastic bags is 15 miles away It would be nice if they could be recylced at curb side. More than recycling options, I think reducing options are more important. Recycling can only go so far. Reducing is key. And if plastic bags could not exist whatsoever, that be even better. I would've checked a maybe button, but... Many people are not aware of the grocery store option, which is the most convenient. Also, grocery stores would be more convenient if they took all kinds of plastic bags like IP and GCRS do. Garbage haulers should be paid by grocery stores to accept and recycle plastic bags with their regular recycle program. There far and few between Its just extra work all together.Which makes people that use them just throw them in the garbage I find your term "single-use" to be misleading and biased. People need to figure something out for themselves - let's start here.
