• IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR THOSE WHO CAN GO TO THE STORE AND RE-USE THE BAGS. BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE HANDICAPPED AND CAN'T GO OUT TO SHOP, WE WILL HAVE TO BUY THE NEW BAGS EVERY TIME WE MAKE AN ORDER. THE BAGS WILL JUST PILE UP IN A CLOSET OR BE USED TO TIE UP GARBAGE OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO BUY GLAD BAGS FOR OUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL. MANAGEMENT OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS WILL NOT APPRECIATE STINKY, WET GARBAGE BEING THROWN DOWN THE CHUTE IN NEWSPAPERS.
