Every year, billions of, utensils, napkins, condiment packets, and other accessories are included in take-out and delivery food orders even if customers don’t want or need them. The waste from these unused accessory items pollutes the planet, threatens human health, and means that restaurants are literally throwing money away.

The solution is simple. Customers need to ask for these items! If you need foodware accessories, you can get them. And if you don’t need them, you can prevent the waste by exercising your right to #SkipTheStuff.

Bill Int 1775B asks restaurants, food delivery apps, and online delivery platforms to provide single use utensils, condiments, and napkins only if requested by the customer. This legislation is simple, saves restaurants money, and reduces unnecessary waste.

Take a few minutes and send a message to your Council Member asking them to support this legislation!
