SF Foodware Ordinance
The SF Reusable Foodware Ordinance will help our city make the leap from single-use to reuse.
When passed, if you sit down to eat at a restaurant, you will be served on real plates, cups and cutlery - no more throw-away for dining in.
The reusable foodware policy will require:
Only reusable cups, plates, and utencils used when you dine onsite at a restaurant
Reusable cups used to serve beverages at large venues, like stadiums and arenas
When you bring your own reusable cup for take-out, it can’t be rejected unless it is dirty or unfit to use
Restaurants can give you only the accessories (utensils, straws, condiment packets) you specifically request for take-out and delivery orders
