Kearny Adopts New 'Skip the Stuff' Ordinance

Posted Mon, Sep 22, 2025, From Town of Kearny
Kearny Adopts 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.
