Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey I am able to recycle all my bags without any difficulty. If public housing requires plastic garbage bags, it seems worse to buy higher quality bags to dispose of, since these store bags are cheap and more degradable than Hefty trash bags. Work on more degradibility, like they've done with water bottles. Poor people and Public Housing residents depend on store plastic bags, and eliminating them would cause us significant financial hardship. Food stamps don't cover garbage bags, and it could come to choosing between my medicine or a box of trash bags :( It is not difficult to take them to a grocery store, as most stores have a conveniently placed barrel to put them in. any place which has them should take them back- not sure how to monitor the recycling however Sanipac used to pickup. If they were bundled/bagged by us, then they shouldn't be an issue to pick up. It takes gas to go to the transfer stations, so I save alot for a trip and have useless clutter in my home garage and hobby space. More retail drop off points. Easy to find. I feel that there are already enough recycling opportunities available but despite this a very small percentage of the bags are recycled. Let's just reduce their availability and thereby reduce their chance to pollute. It takes a little effort, but it is worth the work THE BAGS ARE ALWAYS PUT TO GOO USE., curb side, like the glass I would be happy to recycle through residential Eugene curbside, if it were available. I think all retail outlets should have a recycling bin for single use plastic bags. That would save you from stopping the use of the bags. A new job for a person to visit the retailers and collect bags and deliver to one place for recycling. too bad we can't do it with our garbage pick up. Like we do with the glass, Put the bags in a bag and put it on the curb. I think many people use them for lining garbage cans. These are totally unnecessary. We should all be using reusable bags or baskets. Local trash haulers could be encouraged to "take" plastic bags. Not a recycling option; however, encouraging the use of the "disolving" plastic bag. I reuse all plastic bags at home if I did not have them then I would buy Arge plastic bags just to use. The plastic bags from stores are lighter weight than other bags I would use Need to completely ban plastic bags. Sanipac and Lane Apex could start allowing them to be recycled. Sanipac does not take bags. separate in bins w/garbage collectors I would be happy to see them not in use in Eugene. The recycle bins at grocery stores make it easy. If we have to have plastic bags at all then A biodegradable bag option. offer incentives to using our own recyclable or recycled bags But I think there needs to be more education/awareness that it can be done & where. It is so easy to just bring them shopping & recycle there, but I'm not sure how many people are aware of it. I recycle all my clean #d bags that I don't use. Make business use only biodegradable/compostable plastic bags. get rid of the plastic bags. Get rid of bags all together, we will adapt and learn to remember a cloth one.
