The Better Bag Ordinance will become effective Today, September 1, 2023. This new Ordinance aims to reduce single-use plastic bag waste and litter in our local waterways and tributary system by restricting the use of non-reusable plastic bags given or received at the point of purchase by City retailers and restaurants.
For more information, including exemptions, please visit www.collegeparkmd.gov/betterbag.
To support residents in transitioning away from plastic bag use, the City is giving away FREE reusable bags in August 2023 (while supplies last)! These bags were custom-designed to reflect local animals of the Anacostia tributary and the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
