"We're so happy to have nine of the at least 11 cities that either adopted or in the process of adopting this ordinance," said Supervisor Dennis Rodoni, who represents District 4 on the Marin County Board of Supervisors. "That's really our goal -- is to go county-wide. Our waste stream is county-wide and we really can make a difference county-wide."

Novato is one of the cities which passed an ordinance set to take effect on Nov. 10. San Rafael is considering a similar move -- its council will discuss the issue on Monday night.
