Requiring food service establishments to permit the use of reusable cups provided by customers.

This bill would require all food service establishments in the city to allow customers to substitute their own reusable beverage cups in place of the single-use plastic beverage cups provided by those food service establishments. It would also require food service establishments that serve beverages in single use plastic cups to post signage announcing that “Customers may request the service of beverages in their own reusable cups.” The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection would be charged with enforcing this local law and promulgating rules implementing it.
