Any establishment regulated by Public Resources Code Section 42281, Alameda County Waste Management Authority Ordinance 2016-02, or this Chapter, except Restaurants with respect to takeout orders, shall not unreasonably deny a customer from using bags or containers of any type that they bring themselves, including in lieu of using bags or containers provided by the establishment. However, establishments may refuse, at their sole discretion, any customer-provided bag or container that is cracked, chipped or corroded, appears inappropriate in size, material, or condition for the intended food item, or that appears to be excessively soiled or unsanitary. If the customer accepts store-provided bags or containers in lieu, any charge required pursuant to this ordinance, other applicable law, or the establishment’s policy will apply. (Ord. 7844-NS § 1, 2022)
