Kitsap County has officially joined the movement to limit the use of plastic bags. Along with Bremerton, they will be outlawing plastic bags beginning January 1, 2020.
The ordinance states:
“Retail establishments shall not provide to any customer at the point-of-sale a paper bag or reusable carryout bag made of film plastic that does not meet recycled content requirements. For each recycled paper carryout bag or reusable carryout bag made of film plastic provided by the retail establishment, it shall collect a pass-through charge of not less than $0.08 and such shall be clearly indicated on the customer transaction receipt.”
