LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County has voted to ban stores from using single-use plastic bags.
County supervisors approved the measure Tuesday in hopes of preventing billions of bags from polluting neighborhoods and waterways.
The ordinance bans stores from giving customers single-use plastic bags and would require them to charge 10 cents for each paper bag beginning next year.
