On January 21, 2021, the Northampton City Council approved a new plastic reduction ordinance, which bans styrofoam and non-recyclable plastic take-out containers and instead requires prepared food to be packaged in biodegradable, recyclable, reusable or compostable containers. See a full copy of the ordinance here. This new ordinance replaces the single-use plastic bag ban (Section 272-18) since it incorporates the prohibition on single-use plastic bags.
