Reusable Foodware Resources
The City of Pleasanton has a goal to minimize disposable food ware waste and litter in our community. We are providing resources to our local businesses that include reusable food ware grants, reusable service providers, and general waste and recycling information and guides.
The City of Pleasanton is also conducting two reusable food ware workshops and a survey. We aim to gather information from our local food businesses to better provide technical assistance and to encourage the use of reusable food ware.
Reusable Food Ware Survey
Open from February 26, 2025 to April 14, 2025
The City of Pleasanton wants to hear from our local food business community about current reusable/disposable food ware usage, questions about reusables, and what would be necessary to make the transition to reusables.
Workshops
The City of Pleasanton is holding two reusable food ware workshops* and conducting a survey for local food businesses. Our goal is to minimize disposable waste and litter in our community while helping businesses Thrive.
What will be covered:

- Minimizing waste and litter in the community
- Reduction of waste collection and disposal cost
The in person reusable food ware workshop will be held in conjunction with Economic Development Division’s Business Assistance – Restaurant Focus Workshop.
