Take away coffee cups cannot be recycled and should be avoided. Takeaway coffee cups have a thin plastic liner which makes them water proof and not suitable for recycling. If unavoidable please place lid in yellow lid recycle bin and cup in your red lid landfill bin.
It is estimated that Australians throw away 1 billion coffee cups each year, these cups inevitably end up in landfill.
Re-useable coffee cups should be considered to curb the negative environmental effects of disposable coffee cups. Check our Responsible Cafes to see where you are offered a discount on using your reusable cup.
