The Kirkland City Update Newsletter first quarter 2015 contained this: “Retailers may continue to provide plastic bags for such items as bulk and frozen foods, meat and fish, take-out foods, and newspaper, dry cleaning, and pet waste.”

I am most interested in retailers providing plastic bags for pet waste.

All of the other items listed above are products or services I might purchase. Never have I purchased pet waste.

Perhaps the city of Kirkland should supply plastic bags to pet owners, rather than putting the responsibility on retailers to provide them.
