WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) — If you’re grocery shopping in West Hollywood, don’t forget to bring along your reusable bags.
The city’s single-use plastic bag ban goes into effect on Wednesday.
If you don’t bring a reusable bag, stores will charge you 10 cents for each paper bag you need at the check-out.
The new policy goes into effect for stores that are bigger than 10,000 square feet.
Smaller stores will no longer carry plastic bags starting in August of this year.

No plastic bags allowed in West Hollywood. It is however ok for two men to play wiener sword fights and hide the sausage together.

Welcome to liberal CA. Following in the foot steps of NY. Those reusable bags contain germs all from reusing it all the time. Stores will start charging you for these bags when the ban takes effect and people forget to bring their own bags.
