Frequently Asked Questions
What is the State of Colorado’s Plastic Reduction Act?
C.R.S. 25-17-504 Restrictions on use of single-use plastic carryout bag and C.R.S.25-17-505 Carryout bag fee
The State of Colorado Plastic Pollution Reduction Act, or HB21-1162, was passed in 2021 to reduce and mitigate plastic pollution in Colorado. This two-phased law becomes effective on January 1, 2023, and puts a 10-cent fee on paper and plastic carryout bags used at checkout and for pickup and delivery orders at large retail stores. On January 1, 2024, plastic carryout bags will be banned at large retail stores, and paper carryout bags will continue to be offered for the 10-cent fee. Polystyrene (brand name Styrofoam) containers will also be banned in 2024 at retail food establishments such as restaurants, fast-food chains, grocery stores, and convenience stores.
I heard small stores are not impacted for bag changes. What businesses are considered a “Small Store”?
A store is exempt from the state law if it operates solely in Colorado and has three or fewer locations in the State, and is not part of a franchise, corporation, or partnership that has physical locations outside of Colorado.
What types of bags are (and are not) subject to this law?
A carryout bag that will require a fee is one provided to a customer at checkout to transport or carry purchased items. Carryout bags include those used for pickup and delivery services at large retail stores.
A recycled paper carryout bag is made from 100% recycled material or other post-consumer content.
The following types of bags are not considered carryout bags and do not require a fee:
If your business is not a major retailer or covered under the ban and bag fee, you may not collect the 10-cent fee from customers for remittance to the Town. If you would like to have a similar impact, the Town recommends that the retailer stop providing disposable bags to customers.
Is the bag fee collected or administered by the Colorado Department of Revenue?
No, the carryout bag fee is not collected or administered by the Colorado Department of Revenue. Section 25-17-505(3)(d), C.R.S., requires that stores remit the carryout bag fee to the finance department or division or equivalent agency of the municipality within which the store is located.
Are the carryout bag fees subject to sales tax?
No, the carryout bag fees are not subject to sales tax.
Who handles enforcement?
While this is a State law, the rules leave compliance and enforcement to local governments. This means the Town of Silver Cliff will provide compliance and enforcement services to businesses within its Town limits.

There are a few details and timelines that local stores, retail food establishments and customers need to understand and be prepared for as follows:
- Between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, a store may furnish a recycled paper carryout bag or a single-use plastic carryout bag at the point of sale if the customer pays 10 cents per bag.
- Stores and retail food establishments that have more than 3 locations (in or outside Colorado):
- On and after January 1, 2024, can NO LONGER provide single-use plastic carryout bags to customers. The prohibition does not apply to inventory purchased before January 1, 2024, and used on or before June 1, 2024, which may be supplied to a customer at the point of sale for a 10-cent per bag.
- On and after January 1, 2024, a store may furnish only a recycled paper carryout bag to a customer at the point of sale at a fee of 10 cents per bag.
- Retail food establishments and small stores that operate solely in Colorado and have 3 or fewer locations:
- On and after January 1, 2024 MAY CONTINUE to provide single-use plastic carryout bags at the point of sale if the customer pays 10 cents per bag.
- On and after January 1, 2024, the act prohibits all retail food establishments from distributing an expanded polystyrene (i.e. Styrofoam) product for use as a container for takeout and leftovers. Retail food establishments that purchase expanded polystyrene products before January 1, 2024, may continue to use the products until their supply is depleted.
- All stores and retail food establishments must provide, on the customers transaction receipt, a record of the number of carryout bags provided and the total fees charged.
- All stores and retail food establishments are required to remit, on a quarterly basis beginning April 1, 2024, 60% of the carryout bag fee revenues to the Town of Silver Cliff and the Town of Westcliffe, and may retain the remaining 40% of the carryout bag fee revenues.
- The carryout bag fee does not apply to a customer that provides evidence to the store that the customer is a participant in a federal or state food assistance program.
