Paper bags for booze will no longer be available at Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) locations as of Sept. 5.
"Customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bag when shopping in-store, and alternatively, may purchase a reusable bag," the Crown corporation said in a news release Tuesday.
The LCBO said the move would save the equivalent of 188,000 trees each year and divert some 2,665 tonnes of waste from landfills.
Boxes and eight-pack carriers for cans and small bottles will still be available for free, the release noted.
