City of San Mateo issued the following announcement on Nov 10.
On Monday, Nov. 16, our City Council will discuss different policy options to regulate the types of disposables used at restaurants and food facilities in San Mateo. Addressing single-use plastics and disposables is an important environmental priority for the City as it can help reduce waste and pollution.
The County of San Mateo and several cities in the region have adopted an ordinance that requires the use of compostable products and prohibits the use of plastic.
This means restaurants would need to use compostable containers, cups, lids, bowls, cutlery, straws, and more. We're interested in your feedback and input! Find out how you can participate and share your thoughts by reviewing the agenda for the Nov. 16 meeting on our Public Meeting Portal.
The regular City Council meeting begins 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 16 via Zoom.
