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