 As
of August 2009, the
City of Monterey's ordinance went into effect prohibiting the use of polystyrene materials
(commonly referred to as Styrofoam) to be used for
"take out
food applications" within city limits.
If
you have frequented an establishment
(restaurant, bar, hotel, events, etc) that has
continued to utilize polystyrene or Styrofoam
for their take out food packaging, TELL US! We
will work with the business to identify more
sustainable, less littering alternatives.
The City of Monterey has seen
first-hand the impact of polystyrene foam
and plastic litter in our storm drains, in our
fields, on our roadways and highways, in our
rivers, in the ocean and on our beaches. Click
here for more information about the ordinance or
why we chose to ban this product.
