There are no longer single-use bags in Woolworths Supermarkets, and other retailers will follow suit.

You can politely decline to fill green canvas bags to the brim - something that many customers prefer so they can use fewer bags. Over-packed bags are heavy to lift and can place you at greater risk of injury. We recommend packing no more than you would have backed into a thin plastic bag (4-6kg); if customers want more, they can add it themselves and lift it into their trolley.
