LA County Code Title 12.84 (Ord. 2008-0006) bans expanded polystyrene foam cups at all county facilities and food vendors operating on county property. California SB-54 phases out non-recyclable plastic cup packaging statewide by 2032, layering tighter standards over the county rule.
LA County Code Title 12.84, originally adopted as Ordinance 2008-0006, bans expanded polystyrene foam cups, plates, bowls, and clamshells at all county-owned facilities and any food vendor operating under county contract or on county property. The 2024 expansion extends the foam ban to retail and restaurant operations in unincorporated areas, requiring fiber, recyclable plastic, or compostable alternatives. California SB-54 (2022) layers a statewide producer-responsibility framework requiring 65 percent of single-use plastic packaging — including PET and PP cups — to be recyclable or compostable by 2032, with reduction targets of 25 percent by 2032. Non-foam plastic cups remain legal during phase-in but must follow CA AB-1201 ASTM compostability labeling if marketed compostable.
First violation triggers a written warning. Subsequent violations within 12 months carry $100 administrative fines per day, escalating to $200 for third offense. County facility vendors face contract termination. Mislabeled compostable claims trigger separate AB-1201 enforcement.
