The City of Plantation trash bags cause environmental litter and unwanted pests. Each trash morning Plantation neighborhoods are littered with trash left by the stray and wild animals who have ripped open the trash bags city residents are required to use. This petition urges the City of Plantation to repeal the requirement of the use of the blue trash bags and permit residents to use bins like other South Florida municipalities. 

Use of trash bins will keep trash contents contained and secure and discourage pests. It will prevent trash from being blown or washed into storm drains, lakes and canals in the area. Trash bins are the environmentally responsible decision for the city and will save residents inconvenience and cost of having to purchase the bags.
