NJ Plastic Bag Ban

A few New Jersey powers-that-be have suggested people return their reusable bags to be sanitized and handed out AGAIN at grocery stores within the Garden State.

People have reportedly resorted to stealing shopping baskets at NJ grocery stores as a result of the Garden State's recent plastic bag ban.

A newspaper that I didn't order folded up and thrown at the bottom of my driveway.

Shopping carts have been piling up at the bus stop closest to the Acme in Brigantine.

While we're all getting used to toting our own reusable totes around in New Jersey, something else disappeared just as quickly as plastic bags did.

Did you hear? Starting May 4, single-use plastic bags will be banned from stores, restaurants, and other establishments in New Jersey.

Plastic bags, and even some paper bags, will no longer be available to NJ grocery store shoppers come May of 2022.
