WILMINGTON, MA — Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker recently announced a temporary ban on reusable bags in grocery stores and pharmacies.
“From now on, reusable bags are prohibited and all regulations on plastic bag bans are lifted,” he said during his press conference on Wednesday.
Baker also noted that stores cannot charge customers for paper and plastic bags while this new public health order is in place.
The Wilmington Health Department reaffirmed the news by announcing on their website: “The plastic bag ban is currently lifted. This is to prevent use of reusable bags brought in from home.”
