HOBOKEN, NJ — Hoboken passed a revised plastic bag ban in 2019, but a new state law will go further than that.

Starting May 4, grocery stores and restaurants in all parts of the state won't be allowed to give customers single-use plastic carryout bags. Not only that, but grocery stores larger than 2,500 square feet may not provide single-use paper carryout bags, and instead may provide or sell only reusable carryout bags (which will cost more).
