Plastic Bag Ban Studied By Environmental Commission

January 14, 2020 Environment

The township Environmental Commission plans to lobby the Township Council to institute a ban on single-use plastic bags and Styrofoam.

The township would join the growing list of New Jersey communities banning the use of single-use plastic bags under a proposal being prepared by the Environmental Commission.

The proposal, now in the discussion stage, would also ban the use of Styrofoam products, and would require retail stores to sell paper bags and some stores to provide reusable carry out bags for a nominal fee.
