So, they are going to do it faster than I thought...once they get rid of the bags in SD I'll go back to my plastic crates. Bad thing is that we'll have to start buying garbage bags...la sirena in santiago, cashier told us that in a couple of weeks they are stopping free plastic bags, got into a conservation cos we use french type big carriers with handles that u buy once and bring with u... Everyone seemed to think it was a grest idea. I always take a couple of sirena plastic bags off them cos they make great bin bags for toilet bins.....
