The City Council has received a proposal calling on grocery stores citywide to charge customers for the bags they use to take their groceries home.
The proposal would require stores to charge 10 cents per plastic or paper bag, if customers do not bring their own reusable ones. The money collected from bag fees would go to store owners.
The bill was expected to be introduced into the Council this week.
