Free Reusable Bags At Wawa On May 4: Where To Find In Bergen County

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Wawa stores are launching a "Skip the Bag for Good" initiative on Wednesday, the day New Jersey's plastic bag ban goes into effect.

All 272 Wawa stores in New Jersey will give away 1,000 free reusable bags with a purchase, while supplies last.

In the future, Wawa will sell reusable bags for 35 cents at stores.

“We thank our customers for joining Wawa and the State of New Jersey in our journey to ‘skip the bag for good’ as we work together to keep our community safe, scenic and sustainable,” said Dave Simonetti, Sr. Director of Store Operations for New Jersey. “Shopping with a reusable bag is a change of habit for many people that can reduce our long-term impact on the environment, and we are excited to do our part to support our community.”

In Bergen County, there are Wawa stores in Hackensack (505 S. River St.), Lodi (150 Essex St.) and Garfield (7 Jewell St.).
