RECYCLING GROCERY STORE PLASTIC BAG
Director Woodside presented information on curbside recycling of plastic
bags being practiced in Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano.
The Committee discussed the program and concluded the program may not
be workable for CMSD residents as the District's trash collection program
does not require separation of recyclables. CR&R will be contacted to
ascertain how the program might work for CMSD residents
