Edmonton’s Plan to Reduce Single-use items includes actions to help reduce the number of single-use items used by residents and businesses.

Effective July 1st, businesses are no longer permitted to provide new plastic shopping bags to customers. Paper bags now come with a mandatory minimum fee of $0.15 as well.

Happy waste reducing, y’all!
