Plastic Bag Ban Back – Throggs Neck BID

Starting October 19, 2020 enforcement of the New York State Plastic Bag Ban and Paper Bag Fee will begin. Stores will be penalized for distributing single use plastic bags and must collect a 5-cent fee on paper bags. Please help us notify your constituents to use a reusable bag, wash it often and keep our environment clean. Visit nyc.gov/bags for more info or share our posts on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

If you would like a shipment of reusable bags for distribution, please complete the survey at surveymonkey.com/r/DSNYBagDelivery. Delivery may take a few weeks.
