Paper or plastic will no longer be a question asked by Walmart cashiers across Washington as the company moves to go bagless starting in April.
Right now, single-use bags can be conveniently purchased for eight cents each, but on April 18, customers may see a surge in more walking out of stores with unbagged groceries or sending for someone to the car to grab the reusable bags collecting dust in the back seat.
This follows the organization's
Beyond the Bag Consortium
in 2020 and the
2021 Washington state law
that banned single-use plastic bags.
