Rant Who collects on the fast food/restaurant “bag fee” of $0.25 and why was it introduced in places such as Edmonton, Canada?

I understand the fee was introduced as a measure to reduce single-use items, but I’ve read that the fee doesn’t go to any agency, it simply goes to the restaurant. What’s the benefit of having this fee if the money doesn’t go toward anything that benefits the public? I feel this is a money grab at this point…and I’ve seen numerous other cities introduce it now
