Breckenridge Town Council decided Tuesday, Jan. 26, that compostable bags would not be exempt from the plastic bag ban that goes into effect in September and debated what type of reusable bag the town should distribute.
Sustainability Coordinator Jessie Burley said a restaurant owner asked the town if compostable bags would be allowed once the ban takes effect. Burley said town staff does not recommend that council allow compostable bags to be exempt from the ban because of a lack of collection and compost abilities in Summit County.

THOUSANDS of pounds have been raised for an free service to transport vulnerable people to and from their Covid jabs - and there are plans to bring the scheme to Southampton. The ‘Cabs for Jabs’ team have already raised just under £7,000 of their £20,000 target, which - if hit - would allow them to make 1,000 drop-offs for Winchester residents to local vaccination hubs with the support of taxi firm Francis Taxis. Head fundraiser Tim Perry, has said the response to the service - which started as an idea between friends - has been ‘phenomenal’ and outlined plans to expand the free-service into Southampton as the UK’s vaccination programme rolls on.
