We compute the angular momentum flux from a non-circular nonspinning binary system of compact objects in massless scalar-tensor theories up to one and a half post-Newtonian (1.5PN) order using multipole moments. The angular momentum flux in scalar-tensor theories involves both a tensorial and a scalar contribution which can be further decomposed as instantaneous, tail and non-linear memory effects up to 1.5PN order. We compute the explicit expressions of tail effects using the Fourier decomposition of tensorial and scalar multipole moments, and non-linear memory effects using the Newtonian order quasi-Keplerian representation of elliptic orbits in scalar-tensor theories. This work is important to construct the radiation-reaction force and hence the waveform templates for eccentric binaries in scalar-tensor theories of gravity.
