Am I Recyclable? To-Go Coffee Cups & K-Cups

TO-GO COFFEE CUPS & K-CUPS CANNOT BE PLACED IN YOUR CURBSIDE RECYCLING BIN.

Oneida and Herkimer residents LOVE their coffee however, to-go coffee cups and k-cups are NOT recyclable!

EACH to-go coffee cup is responsible for 0.24 lbs of carbon (C02) greenhouse gas emissions

The environmental IMPACT of disposable coffee cups is enormous!

Did you know?

Paper cups are not recyclable because of the plastic liner and coffee contamination. 

Garbage haulers do not accept plastic lids in curbside recycling bins.

Cardboard sleeves can be recycled and reused, but often are not.   

The vast majority of disposable cups and lids sold at coffee shops eventually arrive at the landfill.  

You can bring your own reusable coffee cup and give it to the barista to fill up your coffee (both hot and cold).

Remember: Reusable Coffee Mugs & Cups are best!
