Starbucks Should Offer Recycling
03:08:41 pm on July 28, 2007
For a company based in earthy Seattle, I think Starbucks might be a bit more geared toward recycling. I’m one of those customers that visits about 20-25 times per month, and I find it really annoying that they don’t offer a recycling station to deposit my drink container. I say “drink container” since I sometimes buy something in a can, or plastic/glass bottle.Many local coffee shops give you the option for in-shop dining, but that’s not offered at Starbucks. At least they could offer a spot to recycle their containers rather than throwing them away.
I end up just hauling the containers back to either my office or house so I can recycle them there.

All you have to do is ask the Barista working. The recycling is behind the counter.
They also have bins that you can deposit your to-stay cups and various plastic bottles in that get cleaned (which means recycled) hourly.
