Baltimore City
Plastic Bag Ban Goes into effect January 2021

Have you heard? The Baltimore City Council passed the Comprehensive Plastic Bag Reduction Bill on November 18th, 2019 and Mayor Jack Young signed the bill into law on January 13th 2020. Thanks to all who worked so tirelessly on getting this bill through the process. We all know that plastics damage our environment, wildlife, health, infrastructure and much more. Let's keep pushing these sensible solutions that drive behavior change and make us think about how our waste impacts our world.
