North Myrtle Beach City Council to Consider Delaying Plastic Bag Ban

Tonight during their meeting, the North Myrtle Beach City Council will consider the first reading of an ordinance to delay the ban of single-use plastic bags by businesses. If voted for, the ban would be delayed until January of 2023. It was first approved in April 2019 and scheduled to go into effect in January 2021 but was put on hold because of the Coronavirus pandemic. The ban could be put on hold again because of a shortage of alternative bags.
