If you forget your reusable bag while shopping in Philadelphia, it may cost you.
On Thursday, Philadelphia City Council approved a new 15-cent for all customers who need a paper bag in stores. This new policy will include restaurants, food trucks and clothing stores.
The city had issued a plastic bag ban back in 2021 and since then data has shown paper bag usage has increased as a result.
The bill will now go to Mayor Jim Kenney’s desk for approval.
