You didn't specify which

yep, he got me.

You didn't specify which type of plastic waste, so I'm providing the following link

http://earth911.org/

Instead of using plastic bags at stores, usually I bring my own (there's a spare in the car). If I forget, or its lost, they have reusable bags at most grocery stores (at least in NC).

Reducing the amount of plastic is the best way. Can you educate the public? Are you a private citizen? Your methods may vary as far as reduction, but you want to reduce plastic use while you begin handling the waste that you already have.

Plastic's 1 and 2, in jug form (top smaller than bottom) are pretty valuable; many localities only take these. The local NC grocery stores recycle the #4 bags they use; both of these plastics are then reused in many different ways--from countertops to fleecey sporty zip tops.

I tie all my bags in a knot before placing them anywhere (I haven't been able to get rid of my plastic consumption entirely); its not uncommon to see plastic bags blowing around the streets or stuck in trees. In NY there is an urban sport of bag fishing, where you use poles to get bags out of trees. Actually quite challenging. If you're trying to get your town to address that problem, I'd educate them on electric wire safety, etc.

I hope that helps, I'm pretty sure I wasn't able to address your specific situation. Email me or give us more details, and we'll try to help more.

Reuse Your Plastic Bags!

The Best way to recycle you plastic bags is to reuse them when you go shopping. Leave home with plastic bags when you go shopping.

Plastic bags can also be converted into reusable bags, folders and purses by utilizing a simple process. Plastic bags are washed and cut into small strips, which are then woven togther to create different items. You can get pritty creative with this. You will need to mix some wool or cloth when you are weaving these plastic strips togther.

BE ECO WISE!
