Reduce Extras
Many New Yorkers love the convenience of having food delivered or stopping at a take-out restaurant to pick up dinner. Here are some tips to reduce the “extras” associated with take-out food:
Say “no, thanks,” if you don’t need the “extras” (paper napkins, plastic cutlery, straws, condiment packets, etc.) often provided with take-out meals. The restaurant owner will save money, and you’ll have less waste to manage.
Say “no bag, thanks” if you don’t need a bag for your morning coffee.
If you have a lot of “extras,” use them in lunches you take to work or school, or save them for your next picnic or road trip.
Remember to recycle paper bags, unused paper plates, and aluminum foil.
