Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey <br />I don't look for a place to recycle when I'm at the store and also forget to take them with me. <br />Not cost effective. <br />It's very difficult to remember to bring the bags to a retailer who actually will recycle them. Plus <br />most retailers don't have the bins in a prominet, easy-to-see location <br />most of them have food residue and can't be recycled. We just need to stop using them, period. <br />A ban would be the best solution - there is no reason why we can't all bring our own bags or pay <br />for paper bags. <br />Should ban single-use plastic bags, most people do not recycle them and won't even if more <br />recycling options were around <br />Perhaps pick up by garbage collectors would be in order. <br />Not sure <br />I think there should be more locations to drop them off, or make it part of our recycle pick-up at <br />home. <br />I see too many flying around in our environment and we need to educate consumers to reduce <br />even further disposal of these plastic bags <br />not if we ban them as a environmentally responsible community. <br />All the grocers I frequent have recycling for plastic bags. <br />Recycling (down-cycling) isn't solving the real issue. Instead of providing more recycling options, <br />we should ban plastic bags and provide reusable bag options (to purchase or free if buying more <br />than certain amount of products). <br />If a grocery store offers plastic single us bags then there should be a recycling reseptical <br />People wont take the time to collect and take them to a recycle location. People still throw away <br />cans even thought they are incredibly east to recycle with hundreds of recycle locations AND you <br />get $.05 for doing so. <br />There are enough already. <br />Never hurts to offer more... <br />We use all the bags to carry out the garbage <br />Make recycling easier. Don't ban their use. <br />Most people are not aware that bags can be recycled, or that grocery stores offer onsite plastic <br />bag recycling. <br />I think single-use plastic carryout bags should be banned. But if they aren't, there should be more <br />consumer information about how / where to recycle them. I'm never sure, and it seems to <br />change. <br />If this ban goes into effect it won't fix the larger problem. IT WILL HELP, for sure but there will still <br />be some in use, plus dry clean, veg bags, etc. Anything that will help keep them out of landfills <br />and waterways. <br />Maybe we need some more consumer education on where the recycling bins are located. <br />curbside. i have sanipac and hate their co-mingled recycling and inablity to take plastic bags. also <br />something needs to be done about the ziplock bags (i don't buy them but apparently they can't be <br />recycled?) <br />Needs to be curbside service for plastic bags. <br />I don't think most people would recycle the bags if there were more options. If they're not recycling <br />now, I don't think more options would encourage them to start. <br />It would be great to be able to include them with my other recyclables that are picked up curbside. <br />Why can't you have Sani Pac create a system for recycle of the plastic bags. I would be happy to <br />recycle them more often if I could do it at home. Right now I take them back to the store not for <br />reuse but recycle. <br />
