Join the CCA on Wednesday, September 29 from 5-7pm at O’Donnell Square Park for a Sustainability PopUp. Say hi to your neighbors, learn about the new Baltimore City Plastic Bag Ban and how you can prepare in advance. The best way? Pick up one of the new foldable, reusable CCA totes! 

Effective October 1, 2021, the Comprehensive Bag Reduction Act bans single-use plastic check-out bags at the point of sale, pickup, or delivery. Baltimore businesses must charge a minimum of $0.05 for each alternative bag distributed at check out, of which $0.01 must be remitted to the city.
