Reusable To-Go Cups
Most Coffee shops will refill a reusable to-go cup with your preferred morning drink. Some shops will even give you a discount for not using their cups.
Disposable To-Go Cups
These cups are not acceptable in your recycling bin due to the interior plastic lining, and are not as sustainable as a reusable to-go cup.
Titanium Straw
Switching out a plastic straw for a titanium one is easy! Just keep a titanium straw in your bag, car or jacket and tell the server, barista etc. that you don't need a straw.
Plastic Straws
Plastic straws are not acceptable in your recycling bin and are not as sustainable as a titanium straw.
Plastic Milk Jugs
These are #2 plastic and are one of the best items to reycle!
Paper Milk Cartons
These cartons are not acceptable in your recycling bin due to the interior plastic lining
Reusable Storage Bags
These reusable food storage bags are a much more sustainable option than the single-use plastic food storage bags.
Plastic Storage Bags
Single use food storage bags are not acceptable in your recycling bin and are not as sustainable as the reusable bags.
Paper/Reusable Grocery Bags
Paper bags are recyclable and both paper and reusable grocery bags are much more sustainable than plastic bags.
Plastic Grocery Bags
Plastic bags are not acceptable in your recycling bin and are not as sustainable as paper bags. They also pose risks in sorting facilities because they can get stuck or wrapped around mechanisms.
