Reusable Containers - Business survey

This survey is for businesses who offer food to eat in or take away in single use containers. Council has requested that we conduct further engagement and research about including not just reusable cups but also re-usable containers in the Single Use Items Bylaw. The single-use items reduction strategy aims to minimize overall waste, decrease landfill contributions, and encourage businesses, consumers, and residents to adopt more environmentally conscious practices.

Please take this short survey to tell us about your business and your thoughts about accepting reusable containers from a customer or through a partnership with an organization that offers reusable takeaway containers re-share programs. For example, A Friendlier Company, Mugshare, etc. This survey should take 5 minutes or less to complete.
