Delaware’s Governor Jack A. Markell has signed legislation into law that will promote the recycling of plastic bags and reduce the harmful environmental impacts created by the bags.

House Bill 15, sponsored by Rep. Valerie J. Longhurst, will require that retail stores with at least 7,000 square feet of retail space or three or more Delaware locations establish an at-store recycling program for plastic bags. Those stores also must provide reusable bags, which customers may purchase. By August 1, 2010, stores must include a message encouraging recycling on all plastic bags. Restaurants are excluded from the law.

The law will take effect on December 1, 2009.

"By encouraging Delawareans to recycle now, we can reduce pollution, preserve our natural resources and set an example for future generations," Governor Markell said. "This new store where we make this law today is not only putting people to work to help our economy – it’s putting customers to work helping the environment."
