Daly City council votes to stick a fork in disposable plastics at food businesses

Daly City has joined cities around San Mateo County in banning single-use plastics at food facilities, with enforcement starting in 2022.

In a unanimous vote on Monday night, the City Council passed an ordinance that requires all food facilities to transition to non-plastic food wares. This means bowls, cups, plates, utensils and more will need to be made out of natural-fiber based materials like paper, sugarcane, bamboo or wood.
