recycling plastic bags

Submitted by Geoff Bardwell on July 10, 2007 - 8:21am.

I know this isn't the answer to the problem, but it is better than throwing them in the garbage. Currently, (unless policies have changed) plastic bags are not recyclable in London. I give all of my plastic bags to my parents who live in Aylmer - they are recyclable there. I think using cloth bags is a great idea, but there are also those times when you don't have your cloth bag handy - so a recycling program would be beneficial as well.

Plastic Bag Reduction

I fully support this initiative. I hope to make myself available for this committee.

What I do know is that we have to include the business community. Recently, while shopping at Loblaws with my own reusable bags I was given a one cent discount. Businesses need to find ways to make it more attractive to use your personal bags.
