Recycling & Garbage

Shopping with Reusable Bags is the Best Choice

San José Shops Green logoOn January 1, 2012, consumers at all grocery and retail stores in San José will have the option to bring their own reusable bags or pay a minimum price for recycled-content paper bags. Consider the following to help you avoid the bag charge:

  • Start shopping with a reusable bag now.
  • Keep reusable bags by the door, in your car, or near car keys.
  • Keep foldable bags in pockets, backpacks, or your purse.
  • Give your friends and family a reusable bag, and encourage them to start shopping with them today.
  • Return plastic bags to your grocery store for recycling.
