Effective today, Safeway Fort Frances will no longer be giving plastic bags when checking out customers.
This is done to honour the store’s goal of stopping the use of plastic bags with the beginning of their new fiscal year on May 5.
Krystle Whiteley, Safeway manager, said customers have been reminded of the new rules via an automated recording that plays on the store speaker as they are shopping.
“We have signage throughout the entire store and our cashiers are communicating with our customers,” Whiteley said. “I think that’s the goal with the entire town. A lot of our customers already have reusable bags. I think as a whole, the community does very well with the use of reusable bags. We do sell quite a few [reusable bags] all year round.”
