Ridgewood NJ , according to Village of Ridgewood Mayor Ramon M Hache , “We were notified earlier today by Stop and Shop that they will be running our of paper bags by the weekend due to the increased volume of shoppers during this pandemic emergency. Unfortunately there is a national shortage of paper bags and it is unclear as to when their stock of paper will be replenished. Stop and Shop will have to temporarily switch to plastic until such time their bag supply is replenished. The Village will work with them and suspend enforcement of the plastic bag ban given the unprecedented circumstances. We encourage shoppers to use reusable bags whenever possible.”
