If a store does that, customers will either (a) bring their own bag, or (b) pay extra, or (c) go shop somewhere else. A store won't do it if people go elsewhere to shop. what’s the concern about stores charging more than a nickel?

They will take 2 items per day per person. The only exception is televisions and monitors. They charge $10 for each of those items, but you get a $10 Best Buy gift certificate in return. Mort,

I live in a small town in Texas, where the only things we can recycle are newspaper and metals- with nowhere to take glass, cardboard, plastics, batteries, potting soil or electronics. I am sitting on a collection of this stuff, waiting for the city to get on the ball.
