Reduction of Waste from Single-Use Items and Expanded Polystyrene Products Ordinance

As of June 1, 2022, full-service restaurants are to serve ready-to-eat food with utensils specifically designed to be cleaned after each use and reused. Food facilities are to continue providing customers with single-use articles (such as straws, forks and spoons) only when the customer requests them or confirms. And online platforms are to continue offering a way for customers to select single use foodware accessories they wish to be packaged with their food order. The ordinance applies to food facilities and retail establishments that are located within the County unincorporated area and County facilities as well as to third-party, online food-ordering businesses.

Did you know that used motor oil never wears out and can be recycled and reused?
