Yeah i get it. Simple case of the many that ruin it for the few. Ive been using mine for years to double bag pet doodoo and as liners for bathroom and other small waste bins, but will run out in a few weeks. After that ill have to decide whether to buy the bags in bulk, switch to something else or go without. The plastic bag bans wont reduce littering in the slightest, but they do gum up the infrastructure when not properly handled.
