Haroldine is a Realtor in Calabasas and takes great steps to keep on top of anything happening in Calabasas. As of this July, shoppers in Calabasas will no longer be offered plastic bags when doing their shopping. Those who don't bring their own reusable sacks will have to go without or buy paper bags which will cost 10 cents each.
This ordinance was voted, unanimously, by City officials in February to ban the use of disposable plastic bags at grocery stores and other retail shops.
Large stores in Calabasas and unincorporated county areas have until July 1st to comply with the local law. The deadline for smaller stores is Jan. 1, 2012
This new law emulates Los Angeles County's plastic bag ordinance, which supervisor's had approved last November.
However, this ordinance doesn't forbid the small plastic bags which are used for fruit, vegetables and raw meats.
This ordinance is an effort for the City of Calabasas to reduce litter to encourage a greener lifestyle.
