Dear Members:
Get ready! The City’s plastic bag ordinance goes into effect on December 14th, 2018. Upon its passage, retailers will provide plastic bags at checkout, and will be required to sell them for no less than .05 cents. Bags must be reusable, recyclable, or paper. Some exemptions will be provided to select retailers.
To learn more, see the attached information, or contact Stephanie Acquario at stephanie.acquario@boston.gov. Special thanks to Yissel Guerrero from the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services and Nicholas Carter from Councilor Josh Zakim’s office for providing information about this ordinance.
