San Francisco's extended checkout bag ordinance requires that all retail establishments (stores) charge 25 cents on each allowed bag provided at checkout. Shoppers can avoid the charge by bringing their own bag.

  • Keep compact reusable bags in a purse, pocket, or backpack.
  • Hang a few bags on the coat rack or door knob.
