Most grocery stores in New Jersey will not be allowed to give out single-use plastic or paper bags.
Customers can bring their own bags, or purchase reusable bags.Some customers are already used to bringing their own bags.
In Medford, Binkley's 5 & 10 had 5,000 custom reusable bags made to sell to customers who forget to bring their own. Restaurants can still use paper bags for take-out, but no single-use plastic bags and no polystyrene containers."We already use the cardboard. We haven't used styrofoam in over a year," said manager Debbie Parola, who says the cardboard and reusable plastic containers seem to keep the food fresher anyway.
