Compost

Instructions

Make sure it's empty. Coffee cups go in the compost bin, but the paper sleeve and plastic lid can be recycled.

Alternatives

Bring a reusable mug or canteen instead. Many coffee shops will give you a discount if you use your own cup.

Facts

500 billion disposable cups are produced every year. If you were to save a cup a day for 40 years you would save 24 trees.
