Glen Ellyn considering fee for shoppers who want paper, plastic bags | |
|
February 01, 2015 Shoppers who want to use a plastic or paper bag may soon have to pay a fee at some Glen Ellyn businesses. The village's environmental commission has drafted an ordinance calling for some retailers to charge their customers a fee of not less than 5 cents per disposable bag when they check out. The charge would be applied to both plastic and paper bags. Some materials would be exempt, such as bags used before the point of sale to wrap flowers or meat.
