i had to pay 5p for a bag to take my takeaway home

cant really see the problem with carrier bags, after all we tend to stick them in the cupoard under the stairs for thirty yrs or so..


dont see many people throwing them out the car window on the way home from asda or tesco...

Actually you do not have to pay for the little bags that hold food, from any shop or take away or prescription bags it is only for carrier bags

If you don't want to get charged in a supermarket, employ my tactic......start taking the stuff 1 by 1 to your car, they realise you will jam the checkouts up for a good hour......they then sent me a lovely employee to carry shopping to my car 4 me also in mcdonalds, ask for the stuff on a tray not in a bag and walk out to your car with their tray....simples

it is a tax,why 5p,why not 1p,we are a small country,trying to save the world,and then you have china that switch fossil fueled power stations on for fun

You're wrong mate, you have to pay for the take away bags too, unless they are under a certain size which is smaller than the average bag. The only time you don't have to pay is when the food is loose or not fully wrapped, so for example, bag of fries from Burger King is exempt cos they are not fully wrapped but if you have a burger in box with it you have to pay. Crazy I know but themz the rules

Should be at least 10p In my opinion, or use paper bags.

They also charge for paper bags Chief

Well that's because they want to rather than have to.
I'd rather pay for a paper one, at least it's bio-degradable

Everything is bio-degradable if the rubbish was burned rather than buried. I simply can't understand why this isn't done because they can generate electricity from the rubbish which is burnt and filter out any harmful gases which are produced.

As for the Welsh Assembly, the next time they come back with a referendum asking for more powers, I will be responding with an absolute NO as the idea of getting extra powers should have been to make the lot of the Welsh people better, not finding obscure ways of taxing them more.

It's worked in Ireland. The use of plastic bags have gone down by around 90%

If anyone would like to get chapter and verse on this particular piece of legislation you can get a copy of "The Single Use Carrier Bags Charge(Wales) Regulations 2010 from the Welsh Assembly Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff.

It will cost you £9.75 or £9.80 if you want a carrier bag with it.

Tena have a good range of products to help you with that. Just remember not to use a plastic carrier bag when you throw it away.

I thought the ruling was if you have less than 10 employees you didn,t have to charge for the bags.

mcdonalds in blackwood are also charging for the brown paper bag!!! wtf

Again it is not McDonald's fault. The Welsh assembly have ordered this. Just bring a giant reusable Tesco bag or Asda with you

Labour polititions. First the autonomies, now this. Luckily I live in England.

You know what. It is England which has most of the UK but they came from the Saxons etc. If you want to know the true Britons, they are the Celts (the Scotish and the Welsh).

ve at the velsh assembly hav vays of knowing what is good for you

and its another nail in the coffin for the high street,internet shopping just keeps growing

the only bags you dont pay for.are your prescription bags

You have to pay for them if the medication inside is non drowsy. If the medication makes you drowsy the bag is free!! Also fresh meat and fish bags are free.

You do have to pay for bags with fresh meat, not sure about fish though.

Just went to the take away myself and all food prepared in the Kitchen a 5p levy on the bag was already included. Due to health and safety you can't provide your own bags they need to be the clean ones that they provide.
The Woman that worked there said the Government was also looking at introducing a fat Tax on all things that the Government consider unhealthy. They say its for our own good but it is just another way to Tax us because between Politicians and the Bankers they have fucked us right over.

why have you got to pay 5p for a f*cking paper bag they are bio dergradeable anyway


i remember when chinese takeways all came in paper bags, and if you had a leakage the contents would end up on the pavement(many a time when i was drunk)

sorry but what a f@cking pathetic rule,i hope the welsh reject this pointless excercise in saving the planet,and quickly

We are laggards. Some countries have already moved to ban them. The reality is that the 5p price is way too low and is certainly not high enough to significantly change behaviours, even if it is enough to set of the whingers.

The price is 33 cents (28 pence) in Ireland I believe and this has led to a dramatic change in the consumption of plastic bags - a 90% reduction and millions raised for other initiatives.

I have had some involvement with the recycling industry in the UK and internationally and plastic bags are particularly notable for the variety of environmental and processing problems they cause. Visit a waste separation plant and witness the problems they cause - e.g. jamming and shutting down machinery. Environmentally, there are many other issues including:

why did they just not tell companies that they have to produce a bio-degradable bag,and do you not get a big fat juicy green plastic bag off your council to put your recyclables in,how double standards is that
