Blue Bag Blues It could become more than twice as expensive to generate trash in Portland if the City Council approves a proposal to more than double the price of city trash bags. A pack of ten 15-gallon bags or five 30-gallon bags now costs $4.75. The proposal would raise that to $10 for either size package. The price hike would take effect Sept. 1. City Manager Joe Gray included those price increases in his new budget proposal, which the council will formally consider early next month. The price increases are intended to help defray the cost of several major, new recycling initiatives.
While I do think that having the trash bags be expensive at 4.75 is good since people have recylced more. but 10.00!!!!

I wish they would do that in Florida. People buy so much prepackaged food. It is crazy. We save our cardboard for the fire pit.
in theory, i'm all for it, but i am NOT looking forward to shelling out ten bucks for a bag of trash bags...
