BAGS: VOTERS APPROVE BAN ON PLASTIC
PROVINCETOWN — Residents addressed several articles at Monday's special town meeting, but the vote that may be remembered most makes Provincetown the first town on Cape Cod to ban single-use plastic bags.
Falmouth has a similar article on its November special town meeting warrant.
The bags banned are the thin bags, those used by Stop & Shop, the only large grocery store in Provincetown. Thicker, higher-quality plastic bags are still allowed.
The ban, which goes into effect April 15, passed with no debate.
