additional items besides food and containers banned
BYOC (cups and containers everywhere) engage Pasadena Health Dept to allay safety and security fears
Mandate recycling at multi-family housing and businesses
Establish plan to ban plastics that aren't recyclable and SUP like water bottles at all city properties and with any city funds by 06/21
Place an immediate 10% tax on every item that is not currently recycled in the state of California as identified in the CalRecycle preliminary assessment unless local haulers can prove they have a recycling market for additional items
Create funding for business ventures to use waste in items and create infrastructure to recycle
Separate compost and incentivize homeowners to compost with better composting systems https://www.cityofpasadena.net/commissions/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2021-01-05-Special-Municipal-Services-Committee-Agenda.pdf?v=1609795997657
