Every year, billions of unused straws, utensils, napkins, and condiment packets in take-out and delivery orders are just thrown away.
Most restaurants provide these accessories for take-out meals even if the customer doesn’t want them. Together, we can change this.
Join our campaign to #SkipTheStuff
STEP 1: April – May 2025:
Raising Awareness with local restaurants.
Every time you order take-out or delivery in Lexington, ask the restaurant:
“Is there a way for me to decline the utensils, napkins, or condiments if I don’t want them?”

After we raise some awareness with restaurants, we will be able to take additional steps towards a Lexington-wide initiative to #SkipTheStuff at all restaurants. Thank you for your help!
