Pick Up A Free Reusable Bag,
Friday Feb 1, 3-5 pm, Pac N’ Save Foods

Clean Water Program member agencies throughout the county are hosting reusable bag giveaway events to help residents get into the habit of bringing their own bags.
In support of the countywide reusable bag ordinance that went into effect Jan. 1, Alameda County’s Clean Water Program will give away reusable bags on Friday in front of Pac N’ Save, San Pablo Avenue at 40th Street, 3 pm to 5 pm. The ordinance prohibits stores that sell packaged food or alcohol from giving away single-use bags at checkout, and requires them to charge a minimum of 10 cents per paper or reusable bag, as an incentive for shoppers to bring their own reusable bags to the store.
