I prefer to ban plastic bags but, I have seen the nasty, dirty, filthy, stained cloth bags many customers bring to the store for the cashiers to put groceries in. They are gross. Bring a clean bag.

Bad for creatures & environment. Usually you have to double bag items because the bag material is cheap, double whammy. Paper is friendly to all. It decays & goes back where it came from.

Let's keep the plastic trash island to a minimum, right?

Using the plastic bags is basically lazy. There are plenty of options out there if we would use them. Obviously, people are too lazy, also, to recycle properly.

do you know that 89% of the plastic trash found in the ocean is from Asia country's.. We do a really good job of dealing with our trash in a responsible way. Also we have learned to not littler.

Plastic bags are bad for the environment, and not great for hauling a lot of groceries. I prefer paper or reusable..

Too much plastic ends up in the oceans and rivers and wildlife is killed due to it. Less trash to use reusable bags. I have been using my own bags for years as CA charges you

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.
