Instead of Ban, San Diego Will Allow Recycling of Foam Food Containers

San Diego’s efforts to become a “zero waste” city will include allowing residents living in single-family homes to start recycling polystyrene food and beverage containers on July 1.

Many California cities have banned the use of polystyrene — more commonly called Styrofoam, the brand name used by a leading manufacturer — and the California Legislature considered a statewide ban in 2011.

But San Diego has decided to take a more business-friendly approach by allowing the containers, which restaurants and other businesses consider highly cost-effective, to be placed in blue recycling bins.
