California AB 2449 Bag Litter and Waste Reduction law goes into effect

Effective July 1, 2007, AB 2449 will establish a 6-year pilot program requiring most large grocery stores and other retailers to create an in-store recycling program for the collection and recycling of plastic 'carry out' bags. The program will include:
• Labeling the bags to return to the store for recycling.
• Placing recycling bins in visible and accessible locations for customers.
• The provision of reusable bags for customer to potentially purchase and use
in lieu of disposable ones.
In addition, plastic bag manufacturers would be required to work with the grocery storeson their programs to help ensure the proper collection, transportation and recycling of the plastic bags.
