North Myrtle Beach City Council working on plastic bag ban

North Myrtle Beach, S.C. (WPDE) — North Myrtle Beach City Council talked about the potential ban on plastic bags and Styrofoam last night.

Council members agreed the items cause major problems for the environment, marine life and wildlife.

While they would prefer to achieve a countywide solution to the problem, if that is not feasible, they appear to be willing to explore a purely local solution.

The council planned on organizing a workshop to get input from the business community, Keep North Myrtle Beach Beautiful and the North Myrtle Beach Turtle Patrol on the matter.

They say that information would serve as “a good first step in determining the complexity of the issue as it exists in North Myrtle Beach.”
