This is the new bag ban in Boston-
Make sure you take your reusable bag the next time you go grocery shopping in Boston or to McDonalds.
Beginning Friday, big-name grocery stores in Boston will no longer have plastic bags readily available for customers due to the city’s new ordinance.
The plastic bag ban was unanimously approved by the Boston City Council last December and signed by Mayor Marty Walsh.
It requires businesses to charge 5 cents for reusable bags, paper bags with handles and compostable plastic bags in an effort to cut down on waste. Customers can still have paper bags without handles for free.
