Walgreens Plastic Bag Initiative

Reducing Plastic Bag Usage

One simple question can help keep tens of thousands of plastic bags out of landfills each year. Starting in August 2010, customers will be asked if they need a bag for three or less items at checkout.

Help us reach the goal of reducing plastic bag usage by 25 percent by Earth Day 2012.

Customers can feel free to accept or decline a bag, purchase a recyclable tote or, bring in their own bags.
