Paper Cups Now Recyclable in Blue Bins | Winnipeg News

Big news for coffee lovers: starting July 15, paper coffee cups — hot, cold, fountain-style — are officially recyclable in Manitoba’s blue bins. Thanks to shifts in the paper market, recycling facilities can now handle the special coating on these cups without contamination issues. They’ll be turned into new paper products like tissue and bags, putting Manitoba in line with provinces like BC and Ontario. While lids and straws still aren’t recyclable, this change is a major win for waste reduction and encourages more people to recycle — and it’s already getting a thumbs up from both residents and businesses.
