Did you know the average person uses over 300 plastic bags each year? Plastic bags are produced from non-renewable resources making them very difficult to recycle. Even though most thin plastic bags are used for only minutes, they take more than 500 years to decompose.
Beginning on Jan. 1, 2023, a new Colorado law will require businesses with more than three locations to impose a 10-cent fee on single-use plastic and paper bags. Avoid these fees and help reduce waste by bringing your reusable bags to your favorite Broomfield stores when you shop! Learn more about this new ordinance at Broomfield.org/DisposableBagFee. |
