Reusable Bag Program

In an effort to conserve resources and reduce waste and litter in Aspen, the free distribution of single-use plastic bags is not permitted in our local grocers.

Although you can pay $0.20 per bag for the use of disposable, recyclable, and compostable paper bags, reusable bags or not using bags at all, is recommended.
