Two things a Hayward kitchen should know.
- Foam ban and recyclable or compostable takeout (2011)
Hayward adopted an expanded polystyrene ban for restaurant vendors in 2011 and requires takeout food packaging to be recyclable or compostable.
Hayward to-go packaging is paper or fiber, not foam.

The City of Hayward notes that state laws AB 1884 and AB 1276 require straws and many other food accessory items to be offered only by request.
Ask before adding forks, straws and sauce packets, and let online customers opt in.

Hayward eats like a crossroads
Hayward sits right where 880, 580 and 92 meet, and the food reflects every crowd that passes through. Taquerias and mariscos spots run up and down Mission Boulevard. Downtown around B Street has bars, pho and burger joints. Tennyson Road and the shopping centers off Hesperian have Filipino, Afghan, Indian and Pacific Islander kitchens. Cal State East Bay students up the hill order late.
Many of those customers are commuters. They grab dinner on the way off the freeway and eat at home in Castro Valley, Union City or San Leandro. Your bag rides with them.
The rules make paper the easy pick
Hayward banned foam for restaurant vendors in 2011 and asked for recyclable or compostable takeout packaging. State law, as the city points out, also says straws and many other extras go out only when someone asks.
So a kraft paper bag fits both, and forks and napkins go in only when the customer says yes. The only question left is whether the bag shows your name or nobody's.
For trucks and taquerias: make the bag the sign
A truck parked on a lot off Mission Boulevard can't count on a big sign. A bag can. When a customer sets your bag on the break room table at work tomorrow, coworkers ask where it came from. Put your name, your truck's usual spot or your Instagram handle on it.
Our print area is 12 × 14 in on the front. One bright color on brown kraft is plenty. See how a few sample designs turned out on our print proof page, and check the Fremont page if you also serve down the road.
Wet food, long drives
Mariscos, menudo and pozole are wet, and a commute is long. Put sealed soup containers flat on the bottom, tortillas wrapped on the side, chips and salsa cups on top. The bag holds up to 22 lb and stands on a 3.5″ gusset, so it doesn't tip on a car floor.
Our main guide on printed kraft bags for Bay Area restaurants walks through the whole process, from logo upload to delivery.

[03]Hayward FAQ
Common Hayward questions.
Can I use kraft bags for wet dishes like menudo or mariscos?
Yes, as long as the soup is in a sealed container. The bag carries up to 22 lb. Keep wet containers flat on the bottom.
Is foam ever allowed for takeout in Hayward?
Hayward banned foam for restaurant vendors back in 2011 and asks for recyclable or compostable takeout packaging.
My truck moves around. Should I print my location?
Print what doesn't change, like your name and social handle. That way the bag still works when you park somewhere new.
How long do bags take to reach Hayward?
3 to 4 business days after you approve the logo, and shipping is free.
