Ridgewood NJ, Does anybody think it’s a good idea to ban single use, sanitary plastic bags and replace them with reusable bags that will carry the coronavirus? Maybe these politicians and people who are on the plastic bag bandwagon should get off it and think about what’s best for the community.

Ridgewood NJ, As a reminder, the Village of Ridgewood’s ban on single use plastic bags took effect on January 1, 2020. All supermarkets, restaurants, street fairs and farmer’s markets are prohibited from handing out single use plastic bags. Plastic bags used for garbage, pet waste, prescriptions, dry cleaning, newspapers, as well as those used to contain loose meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, bulk items and bakery goods are exempt from this ban. We encourage Ridgewood residents to bring their own reusable shopping bags with them and thank you for helping us to preserve the environment.
