MEDIA, PA - The recent ban on single-use plastic bags in the Media Borough will come into effect in July 2023. While some businesses are already following the new ordinance, others are not. Businesses that do not comply will be given a written warning and fines ranging from $50 to $300 per reported offense. As an alternative, businesses can provide reusable bags for customers or charge a 10-cent surcharge. This ordinance is supported by Borough Councilmember Mark Paikoff, who says it is a good idea to reduce waste.
