BYO Bags are BACK!

Governor Baker lifted the ban on all local bag laws so you can bring your own bags again when shopping in Wellesley and the more than 130 municipalities in Massachusetts!

This is in line with what public health advocates have been saying; that the risk of transmission from reusable bags is negligible compared to the risk of airborne pathogens. 
​
The New York Times and other media reported that the plastic industry took advantage of the coronavirus pandemic to roll back plastic bag legislation so we are glad this has been changed. 

Wellesley, lets get back on track to reduce plastic waste!
