I am guessing its a slow rollout as were only able to do this in the past two years with our system.
Types of acceptable paper cups
Paper cups with a thin plastic lining (polyethylene also known as a ‘polycoat’) are acceptable. These cups are single-use and are disposable. This includes the take out coffee cups commonly found at coffee shops like Starbucks, Tim Horton’s and McDonald’s. Fountain pop cups or soft drink cups can also be recycled and are commonly found at food courts and fast food restaurants.
What we cannot do are the lids even tho they say they are recyclable, as they are too small/light to get sorted properly and our recycling department for the city says to throw them in the black bin.
