Umm yeah, what do you think I have a Costco account for, best garbage bag deal in town

Those bags are handy, if there's a more eco-friendly way to do it show me the way then. I'm not dumping kitty litter in my regular trash though and letting it sit until it gets full, you're bugging

Does this mean that people will be coming down to Virginia to buy banned plastic bags for resale in NYC the way they do with cigarettes?

I can take back the cans but I cant take back the bags

Hey! It never occurred to me to look it up in Amazon. Merci, Henna!

I thought the 5 cents at the store is for paper bags only. And that plastic bags are not to be given out at stores period, no?

"

Why are poor people exempt from this? It makes no sense. It costs maybe 99 cents at most to buy a reusable bag, and many times they are actually free. So why the different standards? Is the city afraid of a lawsuit?
Because Dems need poor people for easy votes.

Came home today to my 10 brand new reusable bags. I don’t plan to give a single red cent to this BS tax. Five for my car, 5 for my wife’s. Especially now that I know poor people (and benefit scammers) are exempt which is BS.

I keep a couple of those reusable bags in the trunk of the car, they come in handy for Costco
