A Denver-area hauler and MRF operator will begin accepting coffee cups in the recycling stream from its commercial coffee shop customers.
Alpine Waste & Recycling last week announced it has begun accepting single-use coffee cups, which are typically made of fiber with a polycoat moisture barrier, from the coffee shops it services for commercial collection.
The cups will be sent to the Sustana paper mill in De Pere, Wis.
