Media Borough is the latest suburban community to ban single-use plastic bags and straws. The ban goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2023, though Borough officials cannot issue violations or citations to businesses until June 30. Radnor and Tredyffrin Township are currently working to pass similar single-use plastic bans.
Easttown Township has become the seventh municipality in Pennsylvania and the third in Chester County to pass a plastic bag ban. More bans are on the way.
