City of LA’s Single-Use Plastics Reduction Efforts
LA Sanitation & Environment (LASAN) and the City of Los Angeles are committed to reducing plastic pollution in our communities. Source reduction or preventing waste from being generated in the first place is the most effective waste management strategy.
Visit lacitysan.org/sourcereduction to find out more about our plastics reduction programs and initiatives. Below is an overview of these programs.
The Reusable Foodware Microgrant Program provides financial and technical support to City of Los Angeles food service establishments to assist with the purchase of durable, washable, and reusable foodware for dine-in use. Funding is still available but is first come, first served. This program helps businesses save money and benefits the community and the environment.
