The Watertown Bring Your Own Bag Ordinance went into effect on July 1, 2017, and the group that proposed the ordinance wants to remind residents that they can get a free reusable shopping bag.
Free canvas shopping bags are still available for Watertown residents at the Watertown Public Library, 123 Main St., during regular library hours, according to ReThink Plastic. Ask for your bag at the Circulation Desk. You can also get paper door hangers to remind you to bring your shopping bags with you and educational brochures.
I will shop ou side of Watertown
I will go to Belmont and Waltham from now on. This is a joke
I am not sure it is clear from this article but the bring your own bag ordinance has already started. Nothing will change for your shopping experience if you have shopped in Town this July or August. You so not have to use a reusable bag. I have seen paper bags at many stores and thicker plastic bags.
I’m sure you boycotters will really make a dent in another 5-10yrs. Good job!
