We recycle every plastic thing that comes into our house... including plastic bags. |

We put out the recycle box every week. Plastic, glass, aluminum, tin, and paper goods go in it. |

Someone is going to make some money. I buy T shirt bags for about $13 per thousand. |

Sounds like good plan to me. I only take plastic bags on those rare occasions when I forget to bring my cloth bags. The first two of the three "R" S are "Reduce" and "Re-use". Then comes " Recycle". Recycling in most cases burns fuel and produces waste. |

If it's such a good deal why do they want to make money? |

The charge is not there tobring in revenue. I would imagine that it is to curtail the use and distribution of plastic bags. Edited by ImaHeadaU, Nov 11 2015, 01:12 AM.

I actually wonder if 10 cents is enough to accomplish their purpose of significantly reducing the use of plastic bags. |

Colo makes my point, they are after money more than deterring people from using plastic. Ten bags of groceries for a buck is not going to deter many. |

One could always reuse the plastic bags a couple of times. That would keep some money out the hands of the gimmedat enablers. |
