Let's Hear From You On Proposed Plastic Bag Ban In El Cerrito

The public comment period is now open on the city's proposed law regulating plastic bags.

City officials are asking the public to review and comment on proposed limits to single-use bags or food containers made from expanded polystyrene.

The public comment period lasts from May 15 to July 15.

You can view the proposed ordinance on the city's website.

The city's Environmental Quality Committee voted in March to recommend the city adopt limits on these bags.

What do you think? Are more strict regulations needed in El Cerrito?
