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