DENVER — Colorado's ban on plastic bags and polystyrene cups and containers will take effect in 2024. In the meantime, retailers are working to clear them from their stores.
House Bill 23-1285 is working its way through the Colorado State Capitol, and would ensure that small communities without local government programs dedicated to bag fees spend the money on reusable bags. Mike Keuler is the owner of So Damn Gouda, a cheese shop in Denver. He said the shop has a system for the plastic and paper bag fees now, and supports the goal of the bill currently in the legislature.
