Portland To Restrict Serving Plastic Straws, Disposable Silverware

(Portland, OR)  --  Portland restaurants could be fined for serving plastic straws in 2019.  The new ordinance approved by the Portland City Council last week goes into effect in July.  Restaurant employees are also instructed to ask customers if they want disposable silverware before putting it in a to-go bag.  A first offense warrants a written warning, with a 100 dollar fine for the second violation within a year, 200 for the third, and five-hundred dollars for any after the first three.
