DEC Announces Enforcement of New York's Plastic Bag Ban to Start Oct. 19, 2020

State Encourages New Yorkers to BYOBagNY

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced today that DEC will begin enforcement of the State’s ban on single-use plastic carryout bags on Oct. 19, 2020. The plastic bag ban, which went into effect on March 1, was not enforced per an agreement between the parties in a lawsuit brought by Poly-Pak Industries, Inc., et al, in New York State Supreme Court.

DEC Commissioner Seggos said, “The Court’s decision is a victory and a vindication of New York State’s efforts to end the scourge of single-use plastic bags and a direct rebuke to the plastic bag manufacturers who tried to stop the law and DEC’s regulations to implement it. As we have for many months, DEC is encouraging New Yorkers to make the switch to reusable bags whenever and wherever they shop and to use common-sense precautions to keep reusable bags clean. The Court has ruled and DEC will begin to enforce the ban on October 19th. It’s time to BYOBagNY.”

Pursuant to an Order of the New York State Supreme Court, Albany County, DEC agreed to provide the parties and the Court at least 30 days' notice prior to commencing enforcement. DEC is currently conducting extensive outreach to stakeholders, including grocery stores, retailers, and others, to provide notice of the start of enforcement and answer questions.

DEC continues to encourage New Yorkers to use reusable bags wherever and whenever they shop with the #BYOBagNY campaign, launched earlier this year. Additional information about exemptions to the plastic bag ban, frequently asked questions, and posters, flyers, and tip strips to download, as well as tips for keeping reusable bags clean are available on the DEC website.

New Yorkers use an estimated 23 billion plastic bags annually—each for about 12 minutes—and approximately 85 percent of this staggering total ends up in landfills, recycling machines, waterways, and streets. In March 2017, Governor Cuomo created the New York State Plastic Bag Task Force, chaired by DEC Commissioner Seggos. The task force met several times to develop a uniform, comprehensive, and equitable solution to the challenge of plastic bag waste. The final report analyzed the impacts of single-use plastic bags and provided options for legislation that could help develop a statewide solution. In addition, following passage of the New York State Plastic Bag Waste Reduction Act, DEC held a series of meetings with industry stakeholders across the state to invite input from the public and guide the agency's development of rules and regulations to implement the law.

For more information about the plastic bag ban, reusable bags, or to file a complaint about entities using single-use plastic carryout bags, visit DEC’s website, email plasticbags@dec.ny.gov, or call (518) 402-8706.

The lawsuit was brought by Poly-Pak Industries, Inc., Green Earth Food Corp., Francisco Marte, Mike Hassen, and the Bodega and Small Business Association in New York State Supreme Court. DEC was represented by the New York State Attorney General’s Office in the lawsuit. The Court issued its decision in the case on Aug. 20, 2020.

O&R: ONE-TIME BILL CREDIT FOR 72-HOUR OR LONGER ISAIAS OUTAGES

PEARL RIVER, NY Sept. 18, 2020 4 p.m. – Orange & Rockland (O&R) customers who lost power for three consecutive days (72 hours) or more due to Tropical Storm Isaias will receive a one-time credit, resulting in a reduction on bills issued between October and November 2020, the company announced today.

This one-time credit will offset fixed-monthly customer charges based on 30 days of service. Credit will be based on a pro-rata reduction in 30-day fixed charges based on customers’ average outage duration. Additionally, lower energy consumption due to the outage also will result in reduced charges.

Residential customers will receive a $2.60 to $5.85 credit against the $19.50 monthly customer charge depending on outage length, while small- and medium-size business customers will receive $2.27 to $8.17 against the $21.00 monthly charge. Larger commercial customers will receive similar credits based on service classification.

The monthly delivery-charge reductions are in addition to company reimbursements announced on August 8 for food and prescription medicine spoilage for those enduring a two-day-or-more power loss because of Tropical Storm Isaias.

Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), a wholly owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc., one of the nation’s largest investor-owned energy companies, is a regulated utility. O&R provides electric service to approximately 300,000 customers in southeastern New York State (where its franchise name is Orange & Rockland) and northern New Jersey (where it’s Rockland Electric Company) and natural gas service to approximately 130,000 customers in New York. ...

With the General Election coming up on November 3rd, the Commissioners at the Orange County Board of Elections are announcing they are currently seeking registered voters who wish to work as Election Inspectors. Every year, elections in Orange County are made possible by the several hundreds of voters who serve as election workers. These are the people who do the important work of processing voters throughout the Early Voting and Election Day. “We depend on the election workers to help us conduct fair and secure elections each year,” stated Commissioner Courtney Canfield Greene.

Any registered voter or any seventeen-year-old who pre-registers with the Orange County Board of Elections is eligible. A seventeen-year-old would be required to pre-register to vote, turn eighteen by the General Election and have their parent or guardian’s written permission to work election day. “This is an exciting opportunity for a seventeen-year-old to be involved and learn more about the democratic process,” stated Commissioner Louise Vandemark. Inspectors do not need to be registered as a Republican or Democrat but would have to declare for one or the other to work on Election Day. There is also a need for bilingual speaking workers throughout the County. Election workers would be assigned to a polling location in their community or in a neighboring area if they were inclined to travel. “It is an exciting time to be an election worker, the technology of voting has really changed in recent years with addition of electronic poll books and new voting machines,” stated Commissioner Vandemark.

Election Workers are compensated for their training and can earn $250 on Election Day. Training will be available in early fall and will accommodate any schedule. For more information on how to become an election worker, call the Orange County Board of Elections at (845) 360-6515 for Democratic inquiries and (845) 360-6516 for Republican inquiries or email them: ...
