Right to BYO

Make safe bring-your-own reuse clearly allowed.

Right-to-BYO work is about changing the rules and guidance that make disposable packaging the default even when a customer has a clean reusable container and a local business is willing to accept it.

Current direction

Focus on customer-owned containers, not proprietary corporate reuse systems.
Clarify when local businesses can accept clean customer containers.
Make health-code guidance practical enough for workers, inspectors, and customers to understand.
