Expecting fg to use facts is a pipe dream.
And any garbage blowing around is because New Jersey is full of slobs.
I have lived in 5 states. Here and in South and in Midwest.
Drive around any New Jersey jughandle and look at all the garbage there from people just tossing crap out their window. Look at all the "Adopted Miles" on our highways that have to be cleaned up because of same. I never saw that to any significant degree at my other homes.
I think people who lack purpose, family, or are mentally not well look for things to grasp on to for a sense of belonging. But I’m looking for policy. I wouldn’t care if crazy people thought banning bags would help. Trenton actually did it
Both the Oakland and Wayne ShopRites plus the Stop & Plops used to have baggers, but they're gone now.
I am shocked as well sometimes seeing the amount of trash along the roads especially when i drive through Philly
You shouldn't speak of Philly fans that way!
Looking to overturn the plastic bag ban in NJ. There is a bill before Murphy
I literally still use plastic bags and find the banning of them kinda dumb. LOL.
Well, technically the bags didn’t end up in a landfill or the ocean, where’d they’d take a century to decompose, so not so bad.
Would behoove the grocery stores to accept them back since like most, I now have a ton of them in the pantry.
Pre-pandemic ShopRite, at least, had a drop off point where you could return the bags for recycling. I remember a few months after the pandemic hit trying to do that, and was told they wouldn't take them anymore.
I don’t believe anyone injected bleach or whatever their leader was suggesting. And Fauci BS was through two administrations…
As I said, they also great for picking up dog crap from our dogs. Put a real crimp in our style when they got banned. We now buy them in bulk off Amazon. They look like bags from a Chinese takeout place. LOL.
I believe @RUDiddy777 is talking about stores taking back reusable bags.
(I also would use the plastic bag recycle box outside our local ACME).
Every Whole Foods delivery comes with 10-20 brand new reusable bags.
Same for Shop Rite.
We have bags in both cars in case we go into a store.
We literally don’t need anymore.
Certainly not 20 new ones a month.
But we just got a new set yesterday.
These stores have to figure out an exchange to take back these branded reusable bags and reuse them.
I usually used the bags for when chucking corn or if I was grooming our German Shepherd and have a place to put his fur as I did it.
Always too many holes in the for dog poop pickup. And dog poop bag are cheap anyway. And when I was single great for small garbage cans but no way in hell is a bathroom garbage being lined with a shopping bag now. Wife would have my head.
My condo had bins (separate) for plastic bags, glass & aluminum. Town picked them up. Still has the glass and aluminum, but not bags.
Yeah i did and if you resuse your bags there's no issue. its lazy dumb people who can't remember their bags that skew the results
HAHAHA LOLOL
New Jersey Bag Ban Followed By Increased Use Of Plastic
New Jersey lawmakers touted their bag ban when enacted. A new study, however, finds that bag ban has been followed by an increased use of plastic and higher emissions.www.forbes.com
This is crazy. Who could have predicted this would have happened. Baffling!
Oh you gotta check the bottom of the bag for sure before taking it out on your walk. LOL.
I just checked too, seems dog poop bags are now cheaper on Amazon than the cheap plastic bags. Learn something new everyday.
Exactly. The challenge was the behavioral change - no one had a habit of remembering to bring those or put them back in your car. It can be improved and it sounds like it will.
The benefit to the grocery stores should be not having to provide a bag - not profiting off of selling reusable bags every time we forget to bring them.
Yes, he was everyone’s President, as Biden is now. I said Leader- both are pretty shitty at it.
Sucks that neither party has a clue.
Yes and a lot of people take mass transit to work and to grocery stores. People got to lug bags around now
I sort of assume everyone here on this forum with either a Rutgers degree, love of Rutgers or many that post with a hate of Rutgers…have a car
What are the Vegas odds the 2035 date for all new cars in NJ to be EVs will be pushed forward or canceled?
I've been using these for probably 7 years now. Still using the original bags I bought. Worth every penny. Bought them for my staff 2 years ago when the ban went into place. Everyone loves them
I still have a lot. And if I put in just the right weight of groceries in my one use plastic bag, I can get 8 or 9 uses out of it before it gets a hole. Maybe more, I don't count how many times I use one.
Not gonna read 5 pages, but personally I like grocery shopping with re-usable bags:
- Easy to open (I always hated opening those plastic bags..)
- Hold more stuff
- Can balance the bags easier
- Fewer trips from car to house
- They are stronger -- no fear of heavy stuff ripping the bag
Some observations -
Less T-shirt bags blowing around as litter
T- shirt bags used as garbage bags for bathroom use being replaced via purchase of other kinds of bags.
When traveling out of state being requested by friends to grab bags
Been using the clear produce bags as replacement for bathroom garbage

The math doesn’t add up. Something tells me the data is manipulated.
Report says plastic use has tripled under NJ bag ban, but does it tell the whole story?

Two studies about the effectiveness of plastic bag bans have been making headlines recently in New Jersey. Here is what they say.

Shocking and all the dopes fell hard for it.....again you all got played LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Just like they think Tay Tay is rigging the election.
It never stops
Bag ban didn’t backfire, N.J. says. Plastic industry paid for study.
The report relied on interviews with its "constituents" - plastic bag makers, distributors and retailers who sell them.
