Skip The Stuff Ordinance

♻️ New “Skip the Stuff” Ordinance 🍴
 
The Mayor and Town Council have passed a new ordinance to reduce waste from single-use food service items.
 
✅ Restaurants and delivery services will only provide items like utensils, napkins, straws, and condiment packs if you request them.
🚫 No more automatic add-ons that drive up costs and create extra waste.
💵 This helps businesses save money and keeps our community cleaner.
 
📌 Effective immediately, businesses must give customers the option to request single-use items when ordering online, by phone, or in person.
 
💡 Remember: If you don’t need it, don’t request it.
 
♻️ Nueva Ordenanza “Skip the Stuff” 🍴
El Alcalde y el Ayuntamiento han aprobado una nueva ordenanza para reducir el desperdicio de artículos desechables para el servicio de alimentos.
✅ Los restaurantes y servicios de entrega a domicilio solo proporcionarán artículos como cubiertos, servilletas, pajitas y paquetes de condimentos si los solicita.
🚫 Se acabaron los complementos automáticos que aumentan los costos y generan desperdicios adicionales.
💵 Esto ayuda a los negocios a ahorrar dinero y mantiene nuestra comunidad más limpia.
📌 Con vigencia inmediata, los negocios deben ofrecer a los clientes la opción de solicitar artículos desechables al realizar pedidos en línea, por teléfono o en persona.
💡 Recuerde: Si no lo necesita, no lo solicite.
♻️ Nova Lei “Evitar o Resíduo” 🍴
O Presidente da Câmara e a Câmara Municipal aprovaram uma nova lei para reduzir o desperdício de artigos descartáveis ​​nos serviços de alimentação.
✅ Os restaurantes e os serviços de entrega só fornecerão artigos como utensílios, guardanapos, palhinhas e pacotes de condimentos mediante pedido.
🚫 Acabaram-se os complementos automáticos que aumentam os custos e geram desperdício.
💵 Ajuda as empresas a poupar dinheiro e mantém a nossa comunidade mais limpa.
📌 A partir de agora, as empresas devem oferecer aos clientes a opção de encomendar artigos descartáveis ​​quando fazem encomendas online, por telefone ou presencialmente.
💡 Lembre-se: se não precisar, não peça.
