Ban on plastic bags returns to Albuquerque on August 1

“I wasn’t aware that the ban was coming back into effect, but I’m not surprised, and yes, I’m ready,” said Kathleen Hardy, a client.

Most stores in the city will no longer be able to distribute plastic bags to customers, not even paying.

“I have been prepared since the last ban, I thought it was better to be safe than sorry,” Vicente Alirez, a buyer.

But stores said they have a plan for the bags they already have in stock. Stores like John Brooks have said they will use their extra plastic bags behind the scenes or send them to out of town stores.

“I have them right by my front door, that way every time I leave they’re there to remind me,” Alirez said.
