Attention Walmart shoppers! Starting today, the retail giant is going plastic-bag free.
It is advising shoppers to bring their own bags or containers, such as laundry baskets, or collapsible totes, to transport your items to your car.
Walmart says it will still use bags for items sold in bulk, such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts, candy, flour, and cereals.
It says this change will help to prevent more than 680 million plastic bags from entering circulation each year.
If shoppers forget to bring their own bags, Walmart says there will be existing and new lower-cost reusable options for sale at checkout.
