The Cup Box Collection
Filled The Cup Box? Let’s get it collected! You are one step closer to getting your cups recycled through the National Cup Recycling Scheme.
Just add in your details and a courier will be arranged to come and collect your box.
Wondering what happens to them next? The box will be delivered to our partner First Mile in Birmingham, where the box will be weighed, emptied and added to more used cups which have been collected from other businesses.
These cups are then baled and delivered to James Croppers Paper Mill in the Lake District for reprocessing.
Take a look at our video which shows the journey of Cody the Cup.
