City to ban foam takeout, delivery food containers in environmentally friendly push The ban, which will start July 1, covers foam take-out containers, packing peanuts and plastic cups.
New Yorkers’ beloved foam takeout and delivery food containers will soon be products of a bygone era.
Mayor de Blasio — finishing off an initiative begun by his predecessor — will announce a ban on the environmentally unfriendly material Thursday, according to The New York Times.
The ban will start July 1 and cover foam packing peanuts as well as plastic foam cups and takeout containers.
City Hall declined to comment when contacted by the Daily News. But a former official for Mayor Bloomberg gave the administration a big pat on the back.

Priorities.
Banning crack did wonders to eliminating it.
Oh wait, the criminal class are going to commit crimes and the sheeple will submit to their nannymasters.
Dissolve the government. It does nothing productive.
Now I know what to do with all the packing peanuts that accumulate around my house. Gonna make quarterly shipments to Gracie Mansion...
Wow, NY must be just about a utopia. They have nothing else to worry about, no other priorities? They are down to worrying about packing peanuts? Guess they’ve solved drug abuse, domestic abuse, homelessness, alcoholism, race relations, violent crime, drunk driving... Yep, NY must be full of happy smiling faces, pixie dust, and unicorns.
i hate those damn styrofoam peanuts....they make a stinking mess...
Will he have to hire a special foam police to enforce the ban because the NYPD isn’t paying much attention to him now?
New York City to ban Styrofoam takeout, delivery food containers, packing peanuts, plastic cups, people ...
Driving even more businesses out of the city. Bravo!
And after some Average Joe gets killed in a SWAT raid because he was using packing peanuts, DeBlasio will attack the NYPD all over again.
As far as I am concerned, when the good people of New York City elected the guy they choose to lead them, whatever happens next, they deserve.
“...when the good people of New York City elected the guy they choose to lead them, whatever happens next, they deserve.”
I agree. Unfortunately the same concept also applies to the whole country.
de blasio is an a$$hole. There will be no styrofoam on the streets, but crime will go up.
Note: the packing peanuts in that picture aren’t styrofoam. They are the worthless “green” biodegradable peanuts that compress easily, don’t recover, and turn into sticky goo if they get wet.
No doubt Mayor di Blowsio endorses them.
Business destroying tactics. IDIOT! Paper bags and boxes will be next.
We get our DOD MANDATED from Express Scripts Meds shoved in our mailbox UNSIGNED for, in a plastic sack!
And they wind up everywhere in the city. Walk past any trash pile and they are there, blowing all over the place.
The Styrofoam peanuts should be outlawed at every level of government. The static they have makes them stick to everything, a least a little. It's just enough that they get everywhere and sorta stay until a big gust of wind comes along and then they're off again. It's a friggin mess.
The corn starch ones are fine as they sweep and pile nicely. They also dissolve when hit with water.
Is he willing to have people choked to death over it?
And after some Average Joe gets killed in a SWAT raid because he was using packing peanuts, DeBlasio will attack the NYPD all over again.
And some Freepers will vigorously defend it.
This will hit charity food deliveries and Food Banks who delivery hot meals to shut ins. IDIOT!
