DENVER (KDVR) — Single-use plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers will eventually be a thing of the past in Colorado after Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill to phase them out.

So the delivery driver shows up carrying the food, without wrap or sack, in his hand.

Replaced with huge plastic shopping bags.
As soon as that happens, they will declare those reusables unsafe for handling by them, and refuse to put your food into them. That’s what happened with reusable grocery bags. I clean mine frequently with disinfectant and sunlight and rotate them so they are clean, but that didn’t keep the grocery stores from refusing to touch them.
The law of unintended consequences.
Paper bags will be used, more trees cut down.....................
I remember my mom draining the grease from her fried smelt. I loved those as a kid. Then they took my paper AND smelt!
It was happy days when dad went smelting in Lake Ontario near Beach Avenue I think. Russel Station?? Loved those little buggers.
I’m talking about plastic bags and Styrofoam containers. People will simply buy them from Amazon or Uline and bring with them when they order takeout. This will actually save the restaurants money, another unintended consequence from liberalism.
The time to get through checkout will increase exponentially as we wait for people to pack those damn bacteria-filled cloth bags. When I see those people, I add another five minutes to the wait.
Now, hold out yo hands this way...that’s it...
I wish they were true. I’m afraid it is not
Doesn’t Pot come in plastic bags? Just asking for a friend.
Next up, Colorado passes a law against fecal matter that stinks.
Imagine the viruses on those brought from home containers.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
California does NOT have this. The article is about restaurant takeout, not grocery stores.
What about my primary uses for them? 1.) Cleaning the cat litter box. 2.) Cleaning the ash from my Weber Kettle grill.
Shows how much beef prices have risen.
A potato costs 20 cents today compared to 1950 fries costing 10 cents. That’s double the price.
A quarter pound of ground beef costs 60 cents today compared to a 15 cent 1950 burger. That’s 4 times the price.
You'll have to bring your own Tupperware.
I'm not talking about reusable bags or Tupperware.
I'm talking about disposable containers.
