I haven't heard of the plastic bag issue. I'd think industrial equipment would be able to rip them up, which is what would need to be done to recycle them anyway. Only having a single bin to worry about - all garbage goes into it - would be a huge win for the environment. It's one of the few areas I'd actually be OK with significant government subsidies to help companies/municipalities acquire the equipment.
