Coffee Beverages

Recycling

Coffee beverage containers are accepted in your recycling container

Prep for Recycling

  • Empty all contents from bottles, cans, or cartons.
  • Do NOT flatten or crush beverage containers.
  • For glass bottles remove caps. Metal caps go in the recycling; mixed material and plastic caps go in the trash.
  • Always keep labels on beverage containers to ensure CRV redemption.
  • Do not stuff anything inside the beverage container! This can render it not recyclable.
  • Athens accepts broken glass. Please place it in the recycle container.

Leave Caps Attached to Plastic Bottles

It’s OK to recycle caps and lids on plastic containers, as long as they are still attached to their original containers.
