I read an article that said recycling actually costs more. The city of Chandler has recycled for years, they come by every Thursday to pick it up. |

Sounds like a good idea as our dumps are filled with plastic. If you don't want to pay or can't afford the dime bring your own bags. |

I went to CVS yesterday. They had 75% off their Halloween candy. I bought 20 bags of candy. When I got back and started going through it, I noticed the plastic bags were ripping at the seams. These are the CVS bags they used to bag up my purchase. If I had paid this tax on these bags, I would feel like I had been ripped off and took the bags back for a refund or exchange. this would have wasted gas, used more bags until I found some of good quality, and the employee's time. My point is that this will lead to more pollution and waste. At 10 cents a bag, customers are gonna be way more picky and go through maybe 50 bags to find one they can use. the other 49 may go in the trash. Many already do reuse these bags for other things, I use them as small bathroom & bedroom trash bags, lining buckets with them. If schools used them this way it would save money and cut down on the waste they contribute to. |
