One small action that makes a big difference is bringing your own reusable shopping bags. There are now many colorful, convenient, stylish bags available at retailers everywhere!
Did You Know?
The plastic bag recycling law, AB 2449, requires that covered retailers place a clearly marked bin for plastic carryout bags at each store, provide
-
plastic carryout bags printed with “PLEASE RETURN TO A PARTICIPATING STORE FOR RECYCLING,”
-
provide reusable bags for sale to customers
-
collection, transportion and recycling of all plastic carryout bags.
Recycle your plastic bags at Sunnyvale's participating stores.
Sunnyvale markets are meeting this requirement.
