New Jersey’s Plastic Straw Ban is Now in Effect!
Full Frame Shot Of Colorful Drinking Straws
Don’t worry, plastic straws aren’t completely banned, you just have to ASK for them.
The state imposed a new restriction on single-use plastic straws Thursday, which is part of an overall law that aims to reduce plastic pollution in the state.
Under the new restriction, businesses like restaurants and convenience stores now can only give customers straws if they ask for them, instead of including them with every order.
Pre-packaged drinks like juice boxes will still be allowed to come with a straw.
