DENVER (KDVR) — At the start of 2023, stores across Colorado started charging a 10-cent fee for plastic bags. Lawmakers passed the measure last year in an effort to reduce some of the plastic pollution in the state. There will be a complete plastic bag ban starting on Jan. 1, 2024, meaning stores will only be allowed to furnish recycled paper bags. However, retailers will be allowed to continue using the plastic bags in their inventory through June 1, 2024.

What happens to the fee money?

According to the Colorado Department of Revenue, starting on April 1, 2024, 60% of the fee revenue will be required to be sent to the municipality or county within which the store is located. That 60% portion of the fee revenue can be used by the municipality or county to pay for administrative and enforcement costs and any recycling, composting, or other waste diversion programs or related outreach or education activities. The other 40% of the fee revenue will be kept by the store.

What happens if a business doesn’t charge the fee?

According to the legislation, if a store or retail food establishment does not charge the bag fee, a fine of up to $500 can be charged for the second violation and up to a $1,000 fine can be charged for the third or any subsequent violations. The legislation also said that a local government cannot enforce a violation that is committed by a retail food establishment if it is located within a school.

What bags are exempt from the fee?

There are some items that are exempt from the bag fee. Those items are packaging used for pharmaceutical drugs, medical devices or dietary supplements, as well as any equipment or materials used to manufacture pharmaceutical drugs, medical devices, or dietary supplements. Shoppers who receive state or federal food assistance are exempt from bag fees.

What bags will you not be charged for?

According to Eco-Cycle, the following bags will not have a fee:

Produce bags, bakery bags, or deli bags

Bags used for food that could contaminate other items, such as frozen food, meat, seafood, etc. Bags used inside the store to package bulk items, or wrap frozen or fresh foods, flowers, or other items where dampness may be a problem

Bags for prescription drugs

Bags for dry cleaning or laundry

Bags for the sale of small pets, like fish, crustaceans, mollusks and insects The toolkit also said a customer will not be charged for a damage bag if it is ripped while items are being packed in it.

Can I take Ziploc bags to Kenya?

Please check hand luggage before disembarking in Nairobi and any plastic bags should be left in the plane. The ban includes plastic bags of any kind (including Ziploc) brought into the East African nation by tourists. In other words: all plastic bags are now illegal in Kenya.

africansafaris.co.nz - Kenya - no plastic bags - African Safaris Ltd

As of 28th August 2017 plastic bags are banned in Kenya. Arriving visitors are requested to avoid bringing plastic bags into the country. In fact being in possession of a plastic bag will be an offence as it will now be against the law, although the government has indicated that any penalties will initially apply to retail outlets and manufacturing companies in Kenya rather than individuals. Visitors are advised to avoid packing any plastic bags in their suitcases or in carry-on hand luggage before flying to Kenya. Items purchased at the airport before boarding the aircraft should be removed from plastic bags. Please check hand luggage before disembarking in Nairobi and any plastic bags should be left in the plane. The ban includes plastic bags of any kind (including Ziploc) brought into the East African nation by tourists. In other words: all plastic bags are now illegal in Kenya.

That includes:

plastic bags packed in both your hand luggage and checked luggage,

duty free bags coming from outside Kenya

All kinds of plastic bags, basically!!

The new law mandates that all plastic bags be confiscated at ports of entry, whether airports, sea ports or overland. If you’re thinking of clandestinely sneaking your plastic bags into Kenya, be aware that the penalties for getting caught using plastic bags inside the country are fairly stiff: Fines of up to four million Kenya Shillings (US$38,000) and up to four years behind bars. While not as dust proof or waterproof as good old plastic, there are a number of alternatives including bags made from non-plastic materials like cloth, paper, jute or sisal as well as polypropylene and 100% recyclable materials. Two other alternatives, especially for those packing sensitive electronics, are dry sacks and packing cubes.
