The Frisco Town Council at its meeting on Tuesday, July 25, is scheduled to consider an ordinance to reduce single-use plastic waste.

The proposed ordinance includes a ban on the sale of single-use plastic water bottles under 1 gallon; a ban on single-use plastic cups in municipal facilities, events or leased spaces; and a requirement that single-use plastic items such as utensils be by request-only for takeout food.
