Delaware Bans Free Plastic Cutlery

Delaware’s rolling out a bold new law: the Skip the Stuff Act makes restaurants stop handing out plastic utensils and napkins automatically. You’ll have to ask for them now—no more freebies. First violations? A warning. Repeat offenders? Up to $1,500 fines—though penalties won’t hit until after a couple of years. Part of a larger push to cut waste and litter, this follows existing bans on single-use plastics. Self-service stations are still allowed, and nonprofits, hospitals, and prisons are exempt. The bill passed the House in June and’s now heading to the Senate—because sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest impact.
