Plastic Bag Ban

This holiday might be a little too 'woke' for New Jersey. There's no way you could get us all to honor it.

"It is our opinion that this is one of the most successful environmental programs ever implemented in New Jersey," said Linda Doherty, president and CEO of New Jersey Food Council.

State Sen. Michael Testa says it's time for a complete redo of NJ's plastic bag ban

Here's the perfect way to get rid of your reusable shopping bags

As your collection of reusable bags grow, let us tell you a genius way these bags can be put to good use.

There is a new, growing issue in New Jersey grocery stores. You won't believe what people are stealing...

A New Jersey TikTok user just used his very last plastic bag to line his bathroom wastebasket. And he treated the ceremonious occasion with every ounce of sentimentality it deserved.

There was an 18-month heads-up. But compliance with New Jersey's ban on single-use plastic bags — and paper bags in many instances — may not be 100%.

Not every chain is approaching the shift the same way.

Eateries will be impacted by the new law but it should not really cause a problem with take-out orders, the industry insists.

Retailers and food service establishments are banned from distributing single-use plastic bags starting on May 4.

Seven in 10 New Jerseyans know the plastic bag ban is coming, but not as high of a percentage is in favor of it, with more than a quarter saying plastic bags should continue to be available for a small fee.
