RADNOR TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) – A plastic bag ban is now in effect in Radnor Township.

Most single-use plastic bags are not allowed, but a few exceptions exist.

Stores can give shoppers recyclable paper bags, but they have to charge at least 10 cents per bag.

Businesses caught violating the bag ban face a fine starting at $50.

A similar bill went into effect in March of 2022 in Philadelphia. The minimum fine for businesses that do not comply is $150 in Philadelphia.
