One suggested method is to cut the bags as they are being loaded into a truck during pickup and empty and disposing of the bags at that time, or by mandating paper bags or cans from recyclable yard waste. Recently, after raking thru a pile of compost, I elected to buy 10 bags of compost at a big box store. I understand that "you get what you pay for" and sometimes "free stuff" isnt the best stuff. But, I decided it didnt make sense to be hauling home "garbage" to put in the flowers beds of my front yard. . If only ECUA could find a way to eliminate the plastic bags from the compost.
