Downtown Sac is saying goodbye to single-use plastic bags! Earlier this year City Council established the Reusable Bag Ordinance. Under the new Ordinance, beginning January 1, 2016, single-use plastic bags will no longer be available throughout Sacramento. This means grocery stores, convenience stores, large pharmacies, supermarkets, or any stores with grocery or pharmacy departments will no longer supply plastic bags for customers*.

Not sure how you’ll cope? You can purchase paper bags or reusable bag at checkout, carry your purchases in your arms, or Bring Your Own Sac (#BYOSac).

We recommend the FREE #BYOSac option! Time to dig deep, search your pantries and closets. And, don’t forget that impressive collection of conference swag bags you’ve been collecting throughout the year.

 

The trick is to keep them handy! Toss a few reusable bags in the trunk of your car, slip one under your office desk, shove a small one in the bottom of your purse or briefcase – it’s that easy!
