At the October 16, 2018 City Council meeting, staff were directed to write an ordinance that would ban single use carryout plastic bags at all Lake Oswego retailers. Here are the details being proposed:
Join the City of Lake Oswego Sustainability Advisory Board for a free screening of the movie bag it: is your life too plastic?
Please join representatives from the Northwest Grocery Association, Surfrider Foundation, Republic Services, and Pioneer Recycling for a panel discussion and public forum on options for a plastic carryout bag ordinance in Lake Oswego. There will be short presentations by each panelist, followed by questions and open discussion. City staff will join the panelists to answer questions from the public.
The panel will take place between 6pm-7:30pm in Council Chambers, City Hall, on September 6.
