Oliver’s is trying out the new compostable plastic produce bags prior to the law change to see how they perform. Once we find the most suitable bag replacement, they will be in our Produce and Bulk departments.

About the Compostable Plastic Bags we are currently trying out:

• They ARE compostable in anyone’s backyard compost bin or pile.
• They ARE NOT compostable in Recology’s and other waste hauler’s residential green cans. Therefore, they are required to go in the garbage.
• We WANT YOUR FEEDBACK on these bags. Please use our in-store Customer Service Board or our website page to share your thoughts.

Please reconsider our Recycled COMPOSTABLE Paper Bags:

• They ARE available in all Produce and Bulk departments. Please request help from our staff if you are not seeing them while shopping.
• They ARE made of some or all recycled content.
• They ARE fully compostable in both a home compost bin or pile and in residential cans.

Please consider using REUSABLE produce bags:

• They ARE for sale in all our Produce departments. If they are out of stock or not available, please ask the Produce Manager to assist you.
• They ARE a great Zero-Waste option. Customers are encouraged to use these bags.
