New plastic bag rules coming to Montgomery County starting next week
A stricter plastic bag ban is set to take effect in Montgomery County, Maryland, in just a few days, removing plastic bags from most stores and adding a 10-cent fee on paper bags. County leaders say the goal is to encourage shoppers to bring reusable bags and help meet sustainability goals. Officials note there are exceptions to the ban, including plastic bags used at pharmacies and for certain items like produce and meat.
