Coffee cup lids
Can I put this in my recycling bin?
Unless...
Some councils allow disposable coffee cup lids in your recycling bin. Check the waste and recycling advice for your local council area.
Other recycling options
Some 7-Eleven will take your empty disposable coffee cups and lids. Find a disposable coffee cup recycling point near you.
The cups and lids will be collected by Simply Cups, who will take them to a special facility that can process them for turning into new products.
Why they can't go in your recycling bin
Coffee cup lids can't be recycled as the lids are too small to be sorted by the machines at most processing facilities.
What about the cup itself?
See our Disposable coffee cups page.
Household waste and recycling collections will continue as normal.
