Walmart to eliminate single-use bags in New York State

Walmart is making another move in its ongoing efforts to reduce waste.
Beginning Sunday, January 18, 2023, Walmart stores throughout the state of New York will no longer provide customers with single-use paper bags at checkout or pickup.

To make the transition easier for customers, Walmart is offering multiple types of reusable bags and containers for purchase throughout the store and at the registers. Walmart employees will be on hand to help customers with their checkout experience. Also, customers are being reminded to bring reusable bags through store signage, social media posts as well as the Walmart app.
