Regulation of Single-use Plastics Update
On May 7, Town Council approved the first reading of the proposed draft ordinance prohibiting single-use plastic bags, plastic straws, and polystyrene/foam products. Council directed staff to make minor adjustments for their consideration at second reading that will take place at the June 4 meeting. A copy of the revised draft will be made available for the public before the June Town Council meeting on the Town’s website.
Members of the public can comment on the ordinance at the beginning of the Council meeting or send any questions or comments to Stephanie Tillerson, Town Administrator at stillerson@kiawahisland.org. Any emails will be shared with the Town Council prior to the meeting. Town Council meetings are available to watch via live stream on the Town’s YouTube channel.
