Approved in November 2022, Truckee’s foodware reduction ordinance aims to reduce the number of disposable foodware items sent to landfills or that end up as litter. New requirements that go into effect January 2024 include reusable foodware provided for all customers dining in-house, a $0.25 fee for each disposable takeout container and cup provided, and a requirement to only provide disposable accessory foodware items (utensils, napkins, etc.) when requested by the customer.
