Single-use utensils, food accessories and condiment packets will only be provided to those who request them in Walnut Creek after city officials approved an ordinance Tuesday intended to reduce waste.
The Walnut Creek City Council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance identical to 2021's Assembly Bill 1276, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in October. Local governments are required to begin enforcing the law by June 1.
Restaurants will also be prohibited from providing condiment packets and sauce containers unless requested by a customer. The law is intended to both reduce costs for restaurants and reduce the amount of waste produced by customers discarding single-use foodware that they don't need. "So when you get your GrubHub order, it shouldn't have 10 forks and knives and spoons that you didn't request," Struthers said.
