JOIN THE COUNTY IN REDUCING
PLASTIC BAG LITTER!
Did you know that Los Angeles County
residents consume approximately six billion
plastic bags each year? Yes, six billion. The
County of Los Angeles is committed to reducing
the amount of plastic bags that end up along
roadways or in storm drains, or make their way
to the ocean. While convenient, littered plastic
bags are an eyesore and cause harm to land
and marine wildlife.
Here are a few simple things you can do to
help:
• Use canvas (or other reusable) bags when
shopping instead of plastic bags.
• Give your clean plastic bags back to your
grocer or merchant for recycling.
• Reuse plastic bags that you already have
when you make that next shopping trip.
• Insist on recycled-content paper bags at the
market.
Making these simple changes will help reduce
the amount of bags disposed and seen as litter
in our neighborhoods. Encourage your friends
and family to do the same!
