• If a retailer is selling products comprised of polystyrene foam including coolers, packing peanuts, cups, plates, etc. please use this form
• Please also use this form if a food and beverage establishment, food truck, or event vendor is providing the following products:
  • Polystyrene foam food service ware
  • "Compostable" plastic cups, beverage lids, containers, utensils
  • Paper to-go-boxes with shiny inner lining
  • Plastic straws, utensils, stir sticks
  • Accessory items such as straws, lids, utensils, and condiments without the customer asking

*Please note, there are slight variations of the ordinance between Sonoma County jurisdictions. The ordinance adoption status for each jurisdiction can be found about half way down the page here.
