It's not sanitary so they get tossed in the trash. I have well over 1000 swizzle sticks in my collection, but if they are banned I will not shed a tear. From our local So Cal beaches I have picked up and thrown away numerous straws, cocktail swords and even a plastic coconut. While those items make up a small amount of the plastic litter it's still good to reduce their usage. Royer and other companies makes biodegradable swizzle sticks and personalized wooden stirrers so people will still have something to spear their garnishes with. I've noticed a lot less plastic bags on our beaches and blowing down the streets since we banned those so it obviously helps.
