Options for Addressing Litter in Hayward
RECOMMENDATION
That the Committee reviews and comments on this report and provides policy direction to staff.
SUMMARY
This is the latest in a series of reports that review options for dealing with litter, especially from take-out food and beverage establishments. At the direction of the Committee from the July 8, 2019 Council Sustainability Committee meeting, this report: provides a suggested timeline and phased approach for implementing a ban on single-use plastic foodware; examines possible requirements on existing take-out food establishments to reduce litter; and analyzes the costs of increasing the number of public litter cans in Hayward. These options can help ensure the City implements a multi-faceted approach to litter abatement.
