BROOKINGS, Oregon C&K Market Drops Plastic Bags [View all]

BROOKINGS, Ore. — C&K Market here said it will no longer offer plastic bags at its checkouts, effective Jan. 14 — a change the company said is a response to its "renewed commitment to be a leader when it comes to responsible, sustainable practices regarding plastic bag waste."

C&K will offer customers free paper bags or 99-cent reusable bags; customers can also get a 5-cent refund for bringing their own bags to use, the company added.

"By making this change we hope to make a positive impact on each community we serve," Greg Sandeno, president and chief executive officer, said. "We hope other retailers in our area will join us in this initiative."
