Need Totes? Here Are Some Places In Gloucester Twp Where You May Find One

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ – The majority of people in the Garden State have no problem with the plastic bag ban that takes effect just after midnight on Wednesday.

A recent Monmouth University poll of 802 New Jersey adults conducted at the end of March and beginning of April found 61% of New Jersey residents support a plastic bag ban.

However, far fewer may completely understand the ban and all its components. The same poll showed 33% have heard a lot about the ban and 37% have heard a little about it.

If one of the things you have not heard is where to get a reusable tote, below is a list of some of the places in and around Gloucester Township where you may be able to pick one up (this is not necessarily a complete list). Some of these entities are giving their bags away for free, while others are charging a fee.

• Dollar Tree at 1468 Blackwood-Clementon Road in Clementon
• Municipal Building along Chews Landing Road in Laurel Springs
• ShopRite at 1224 Blackwood-Clementon Road in Clementon
• ShopRite at 1200 Chews Landing Road in Laurel Springs
• Wawa at 1301 Little Gloucester Road in Blackwood
