I think 10 cent fee is too much considering the fact that the merchants will be saving a considerable amount by not providing plastic bags.
How much is does 1 paper bag cost wholesale?
Can you reuse paper bags?
Can I recycle paper bags for cash???
I try to get paper bags whenever I can but I use the plastic bags for my trash. I would have to buy plastic trash bags so here comes the plastic again.
I also use my own bags when I can remember to take them shopping with me.
Will all businesses including auto parts Dollar Store etc be required to use paper????????
I am all for saving this small community from he perils of plastic bags but I do not want the merchants making a profit from it.
