Fountain pop and soft drink cups

How to recycle fountain pop and soft drink cups

Recycle empty soft drink cups, fountain pop cups and paper cups:

  • In your blue cart
  • At a community recycling depot

Special instructions

  • Remove the lid and straw and put in the black cart as garbage.
  • Rinse out the cup before recycling.
  • If you have a compostable soft drink cup, see Compostable Takeout Containers.

Why can't this be composted?

Paper cups have a plastic lining to prevent the container from becoming soggy. To ensure we are creating the highest quality compost possible, leave this item out of your green cart.
