Did you know that every disposable plastic bag comes with a cost? Since 2022, Fairfax County has required a 5-cent tax on plastic bags at groceries stores, convenience stores, and drugstores. The goal is to reduce plastic pollution and encourage reusable bags. In this episode of Trash Talk, we show you how every 5- cents bag tax adds up to cleaner parks, rivers, and neighborhoods.
