Single Use Carryout Bag Fee
A single use bag fee of $0.10 per bag will be imposed starting January 1, 2023, per Colorado law. Avoid the fee by bringing your own reusable bags to the store.
Colorado Law - Plastic Pollution Reduction Act
- Effective January 1, 2023, under a bill passed by the Colorado State Legislature in 2021, the state will require stores with more than 3 locations in Colorado to charge customers a $0.10 fee for each single-use plastic and paper bag used at the point of sale. This fee can be avoided by bringing your own reusable bags to the store.
- Effective January 1, 2024, Colorado law will ban single-use plastic bags at most stores and polystyrene foam takeout containers at restaurants.
- Implementation Timeline (PDF)
Businesses will retain four cents ($0.04) of the fee to cover the costs of administration and compliance while six cents ($0.06) is to be remitted to the City on a quarterly basis beginning April 1, 2024.
