By Elyse Carmosino ITEM STAFF SAUGUS — Environmentalists are ask- ing local of cials to enforce a plastic bag ban implemented by the town just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year. Ann Devlin, President of Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment (SAVE), said Saturday she was disappointed by the number of Saugus businesses she’s seen not adhering to the bylaw, which prohibits stores town-wide from distributing, using, or selling single-use plastic bags at check- out counters. In effect as of March 12, 2020, the bylaw, which falls under the purview of the Board of Health, now requires business owners to use reusable totes or single-use bags made ITEM PHOTO | SPENSER HASAK of at least 40 percent recycled material.
