Keep Scotland Beautiful #TakeItBack Campaign
The National Cup Recycling Scheme have joined forces with Keep Scotland Beautiful to raise awareness of the opportunities across Glasgow and Dundee to #TakeItBack and #ChooseToReuse.
There are 156 store locations across Glasgow and Dundee where you can take any brand of paper cup to be recycled.
Typical single-use hot drink cups can not go into standard recycling bins or be recycled at home. To avoid cups ending up in landfill, it is really important to #TakeItBack.
So, even if you forget your reusable cup, you can still help reduce the impact of single use if you #TakeItBack.
The #TakeItBack campaign encourages people in Glasgow and Dundee to take any brand of single use coffee cup to any of the partnered locations for recycling.
#TakeItBack has three main aims:
To reduce the number of cups littered on city centre streets
To increase the proportion of cups recycled and decrease the volume going to landfill/incineration
To promote #ChooseToReuse to increase reusable cups being used across participating retailers
Where to #TakeItBack?
Use the Keep Scotland Beautiful map to find one of the 156 stores across Glasgow and Dundee that will both accept your reusable cup, and where you can take any paper cup to be recycled.
