84Reduce nonbiodegradable solid waste pollution city wide

Unknown

The City passed a ban on single-use plastics and polystyrene for food and beverage service in 2020. It applies to all City properties, including the beach and Broadwalk, City vendors, and special event permittees.

Conduct outreach with businesses on alternatives to polystyrene (Styrofoam) for takeout materials. Place signage at parks and beaches discouraging the use of non-biodegradable balloons and plastic bags. Encourage businesses to adopt the Ocean Friendly business standards from the Surfrider Foundation. Encourage businesses to take part in voluntary bans of plastic disposable items.
