Beginning June 1, retailers in Toronto – including restaurateurs – must charge customers at least five cents per plastic bag. 

Full details about the bylaw were sent to all retailers in a letter from the city in mid-May, along with two copies of signs for use at point-of-sale (click here to view a PDF copy of the letter).  Retailers can also find more information about the new charge on plastic bags at the following website: www.toronto.ca/5centbag
