This will cover all retailers and products including food, clothing and items for the home. Customers will be charged for the bags they need at the checkout in store.
Asda said: We know our customers want to do the right thing when it comes to protecting their environment, which is why we offer a Bag for Life for just 6p. This bag can be used over again, and if it becomes damaged or unusable, we’ll replace it for free.
All money from the charge (after VAT) will be donated to local charities that have been selected by colleagues in Asda stores.
The new charge does apply to home shopping deliveries. Asda is offering customers the option to have their shopping delivered without bags, which means the delivery drivers will bring shopping to the door in plastic crates free of charge. Alternatively, customers can opt for a flat charge of 30p to be added to your shopping order to cover the charge.
