Bag battle

To the editor:

Now that the city has banned plastic leaf bags for the city compost pile, somebody needs to come up with paper leaf bags that are more convenient than the ones sold at some local hardware stores. There is no way to open the tall bags short of pulling them over one’s head. And once they are open, they snap shut again. When they’re opened again, they tear.

I just hope the collectors like a lot of barrels.
