Share your thoughts on reducing single-use items by October 16

The City of Toronto’s single-use bylaw to reduce the waste generated from single-use and takeaway items, such as utensils, stir sticks and condiments, shopping bags and beverage cups came into effect in March 2024. Initial audits suggest that single-use takeaway items in the garbage have decreased by 32 per cent. Toronto residents are invited to share their thoughts on expanding the bylaw through an online survey. Complete the survey by Thursday, October 16.

The Single-use Takeaway Bylaw was approved by Toronto City Council in December 2023 and applies to retail businesses in Toronto. The purpose of the bylaw is to reduce the use of disposable and single-use takeaway items.
