Although curbside recycling of plastic bags does not work well, plastic bag recycling at grocery store drop-off containers can be successful if people stuff bags inside other bags and take their bundles when they go shopping. To facilitate this type of drop-off recycling solution for plastic bags, the California Legislature passed AB2449 in 2006, which requires large grocery stores and drug stores with pharmacies to accept plastic bags for recycling. Some cities, unwilling to consider drop-off recycling a solution for plastic bags, tried to ban them.
