Single-use plastics regulations

Previously, the City of Port Moody had a bylaw in place to regulate the distribution of single-use plastic and foam items such as plastic check-out bags, foam containers for prepared food, and plastic drinking straws. To avoid overlap with senior government regulations and simplify compliance, we no longer regulate single-use items. To reduce plastic waste and pollution, the Single-Use and Plastic Waste Prevention Regulation, B.C. is phasing out certain single-use and plastic items. B.C.’s regulation applies to business operators and food service providers. For more information and resources, visit gov.bc.ca/reuse. If you have a question about enforcement or wish to report non-compliance, email plastics@gov.ca.
