Bill Worrell, head of the Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) proposed banning single use plastic and paper bags at supermarkets in order to promote the use of reusable bags. City Council voted unanimously on September 6, 2011, to pass the ordinance. Vote now goes to the IWMA board on the 14th. The ordinance will eliminate disposable bags from all county supermarkets July 1, 2012, and from smaller stores by Jan. 1, 2013. Let's hope it gets passed!
