2024 Coffee Cup Revolution

The 11th Annual Coffee Cup Revolution is here! Binners’ Project’s pop-up depot returns to Victory Square Park providing binners the opportunity to return used coffee cups for a 10 cent refund and to advocate for coffee cups to be the next addition to the refund system.

HISTORY:

The Coffee Cup Revolution was spearheaded by the late Ken Lyotier in 2014 as an extension of his work in the early 90s that resulted in the Bottle Bill expanding to include many non-alcoholic beverage containers which are now a part of the system today.

Last year we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the event, honouring Ken’s legacy and advocacy efforts and the impact of the Coffee Cup Revolution over the past 10 years.
TODAY:

This year we build on our history and legacy by showcasing binners’ integral role and importance in our recycling systems alongside other waste experts. Join the conversation and engage with all the key players that support our region's waste goals and systems. Come. Engage. Be Curious.

This is an open invitation to all members of the community. Learn more about the Coffee Cup Revolution by joining us in-person on October 17 or you can visit our website at binnersproject.org.

Here’s all the info:
