Information for the Public
What can YOU do to to be part of this effort?
1. Understand the Ordinance requirements.
2. Request disposable accessories like straws and napkins only when needed. If you're eating at home, use your own utensils.
3. Take ONLY what you need at self-serve stations.
4. Bring your own reusable cup or container for to-go orders or taking home leftovers. This is especially needed for restaurants with unique packaging like boba tea shops.
5. Make sure your favorite food facilities are in compliance. Let us know if they are not.
6. Be kind and curious! This is a big change for the businesses and the customers. Thank the business for making the switch and reducing the use of plastics.
