I try to remember my cloth bags but take the plastic if I forget or don't have enough bags with me. There are so many uses for the plastic bags that they are not thrown out. The local free meal programs use them for the 'take out' meals. My church uses them in the summer at the produce table from the church garden, and also for the rummage sale and Christmas bazaar. I don't know what those programs will do if they ban the plastic bags in our town.
Our curbside recycling takes paper, some plastics, cardboard, small metal and motor oil, but the glass we have to take down to the recycling center ourselves. Compost material must also be taken to the center. Each company seems to do things a bit differently. Alice in Oregon -- where I'm back in my house tonight for the first time since Jan 9. The new bathroom is usable (not quite finished) and the new kitchen is an unknown time, probably next week. We'll still be eating out for a couple more weeks. (Easy on me as cook but hard on the bank account.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice Blair" <[email protected]> I sometimes forget to take my own bags to the supermarket and save those free ones for lining my trash bin and using on painting jobs, but most of them, along with any other plastic bags I get are taken back to the supermarket and put in their bag recyclable bin. Our curbside recycling only takes paper, glass and plastic containers. So far we don't have curbside composting in this area.
