Specifications
Use one of your old boxes, for example the box that the coffee cups were originally delivered in.
Ensure coffee cups are stacked in the box, lids are removed (these can go into mixed recycling), and cups are empty of any liquids or food.
Box specifications:
Maximum size = 61 x 46 x 46 cm
Maximum weight = 10kg
A box of this size and weight typically holds around 1,000 coffee cups.
Need Regular Collections?
We also offer pay-as-you-go sack collections for coffee cups, which are collected curbside at your chosen collection time from your business.
