Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey It would help the environment. My pickup trash recycle bin is very small. Why not have a large blue bin to put all my recycles in? Recycling of plastic bags is not really an option. They are very difficult to recycle, and there is often not a market for them to be actually be recycled, and then often get sold or shipped to Asian countries where their practices are not environmentally friendly and harmful to the people doing the work. I think it is more important to educate people on the true costs of plastic bags and the issues with recycling. They should just be banned. The environmental impact is in the production. Recycling them only decreases their carbon footprint slightly. I think you should stay out of my bag choices. It would enable less waste, however it takes a ton of plastic bags to save 11 barrels of oil I think plastic bags should be eliminated. As far as I know, only certain locations take them, not the garbage service providers. It's inconvinent, so they get tossed. almost all grocery stores have a drop point for recycling the bags it would be nice to drop them at recycling drop points however require all solid waste collectors ( county wide) to accept plastic bags for recycling Most folks I know do the say as I do---throw them away Not all transfer locations take them....like Lowpass transfer station....we have to go to Veneta to recycle, a grocery store, or donate to food box.. I don't think so because I don't think they should be allowed. I approve of the ban. On the other hand, if I no longer got any single-use carryout bags from store, I'm still going to have *some* need sometimes for thin plastic bags. So, it would be nice to have some curb-side recycling options. Sanipac and other trash pickup services should be forced to do more recycling. Sanipac no longer offers glass recycling, for example, in Pleasant Hill or Creswell and there are no alternative trash services. I think there needs to be a bigger push for biodegradable or oxio-bioplastic bags. These bags breakdown faster than paper bags when exposed to the environment. Most residents pay for garbage and have a recycle bin. Again, I object to teh designation of plastic bags as single use as they are not. We re-use them. get rid of them,then I will provide my own carry out bags Wherever they can be recycled, and then banned completely Curbside I didn't know they were recyclable and I am not sure if they can go in my Sanipac commingle recycle. I think more education needs to be available for which kinds of plastic are recyclable and what happens to them. I'm a Master Recycler and I'm still confused about which kinds of plastic bags are recyclable and which aren't. Would be great for folks to be able to add them to the co-mingled recycling from home If they could be put into co-mingle I think more people would recycle them, although I know they clog the machinery so this may be a difficult change. Just don't use them at all Curbside pickup We think they just need to be done away with. They can be donated to Library for use by users all retail stores that provide and use them should also provide recycling recepticals to the consumer.. and all retailers who receive plastic wrapped goods should be required to recycle their plastic.
