Single-use Plastic Foodware Ordinance
The City of Los Altos is committed to promoting a more sustainable future for our community. As part of this ongoing effort, we are proposing an ordinance to reduce single-use plastic foodware.
Single-use plastic or disposable foodware, like cups, containers, and utensils, are a major source of pollution. They often end up in landfills, litter our streets and waterways, and harm wildlife. This ordinance aims to:
- Reduce plastic waste in landfills and our environment.
- Create cleaner streets and healthier waterways for wildlife.
City staff along with members of the Environmental Commission hosted an Informational Session on the proposed Single-Use Plastic Foodware Ordinance on Monday, June 3. To learn more about how this ordinance will reduce plastic waste in Los Altos' restaurants and businesses, please watch the recording of the session.
