Beginning March 1, 2020, retail stores will no longer supply single use plastic bags. Please bring your own bag when shopping. Orange County does not have a law requiring a five cent charge for paper bags but certain stores and box store chains have elected to charge customers the fee. For more details on the Bag Waste Reduction Law please see https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/50034.html. Also, please be reminded that return-to-retail film plastic recycling bins will be maintained after the bag ban. Retailers and other businesses are still providing products packaged with film plastic or offering exempt bags that can be recycled in these bins.
