You are right the law goes into effect in California in July. All ready in some stores you can buy a cloth type bag which for food markets they are unsafe to reuse unless washed each time. Got one and washed and it was destroyed.
Desided since I reuse the plastic ones for trash, I decided to purchase a lot at Amazon. I will use them until the trash police inspect each trash can to see if they are used. Then I’m sure I will be fined and they will no longer pick up my trash.
ISN’T COMMUNISM FUN?????????
My current plan is as follows (California.) My local grocery store I believe will be happy to sell me a dozen or so rolls of their plastic bags (several thousand?)
That should be enough to wait for things to shake out.
For many years I have recycled plastic bags for dog and kitty litterbox refuse. I can't imagine, even the damaged bureaucratic mind would require me to use paper bags instead, which make odor control pretty much imposssile (and inherently unhealthy.)
There is report we try get back on ballot for next year there might vote on it

At any rate, the point of this post is to share a bit of knowledge to those of us trapped behind enemy lines (full disclosure-Californian, here). She has a squirt bottle that she fills 30% bleach, 70% water, and after a trip with her “green” bags, she turns them inside out, and squirts them with the mixture (meat, vegetable bags, etc, not dry or canned goods). She swears by it.
SIGH.... Remember when this was a free country ?
I have been saving every bag that comes into the house. When those run out if I have to I’ll buy them from somewhere else. The grocery store and/or state will never get one dime out of me for bags.
