Non-plastic foodwareTo meet our zero waste goals, in fall 2021, the City Council adopted a Food Service Ware Ordinance to reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste and litter generated in Mountain View.

The new ordinance expands the existing ban on polystyrene foam food service ware to other types of single-use plastics to ensure that most types of disposable foodware can be composted or recycled in Mountain View's collection program.

The City's ordinance, along with new State legislation, will reduce the amount of disposable foodware generated in Mountain View and help divert single-use items from the landfill.
