I suppose this will move north, like many other bills that get passed in CA. The City of Seattle banned plastic bags a couple of years ago and the City of Issaquah did a year or two ago. Wouldn’t surprise me if this went state-wide in WA State in the next few years, too. I do have re-usable cloth bags and keep them in my car, but I use the plastic bags from stores for my garbage (don’t normally have much - don’t eat much at home and recycle a lot).
Heard on the radio that the City of Seattle is going to start having the garbage collectors go through people’s garbage and if there’s a lot of food waste, they’ll get fined as food waste should go in a compost. What if a resident doesn’t want to have a compost. Seems to me that a compost with a lot of food waste could attract rats and/or other creatures.
Gee, let’s have Big Brother Government monitor our lives some more. Next they’ll be going through our garbage to make sure that we eat what Michelle wants us to eat and we’ll get fined if they see an ice cream container in our garbage.
My kook neighbors and ex-phb-ette control freak would be fighting to be the first in line for that position. They would do it probably for free.
My wife has a ton of those bacteria bags. I hate them.
The easy solution is to gather all your food waste into a plastic bag, take a drive down to the more liberal places of town, and dump it out when nobody is looking. You’re composting, just not at your house.
