Would the Health Dept. allow personal take-out containers, which could carry contamination, into a food service establishment?

I believe the City of Seattle states that they want scooped (i.e. dirty) cat litter sealed in two plastic bags.

If that's true, I have no idea where we're going to get those bags. Right now, we re-use the plastic bags we get from Freddie's or Grocery Outlet. But if we have to start actually BUYING bags to dispose of waste for four cats, I won't be happy at all.

And no, we live in an old house, which can't withstand flushing cat-poop down the toilet.

I already take tupperware for leftovers when my wife and I go out to eat. There's no reason the Health Department would stop you from doing that. I think they'd be more concerned about contamination if you were to bring it into the kitchen of the restaurant.

I work for a restaurant. 4 months ago they changed the containers we use to these new recyclable containers made from corn. What concerns me is I know we get these from the "Food Services of America". A gigantic organization who provides items for all restaurants. I am glad we are going green, but by using corn-made products we are contributing to higher food prices and more starving people world wide. This feels more yellow than green to me.
