SAN DIEGO — For six years, Chuy's Taco Shop in the College area has been a familiar place where the clanging of spatulas on the flat top and the preparation of precious burritos and other delectable dishes packed in Styrofoam-to-go boxes have been heard.
Gaytan told ABC 10News that they’ve been adjusting and prepping for San Diego’s Styrofoam ban since last April. The City told ABC 10News it’s taking an educational approach to the ban and helping people comply with it.“We have a feasibility-based waiver if a company can’t find an alternative that will work for their needs. And we also do have a financial-based waiver. So, if there are small businesses who are in that same category with less than $500,000 in revenue, if they are finding that it’s financially difficult for them to comply, they can also apply for a waiver,” Ott said.
