Last month I read an article somewhere about recycling mistakes consumers make with their blue bins, it was part of a public awareness blitz the City of Toronto recycling was on last month.
Anyway, one of the things the article said was stop putting Tim Horton's and Starbucks type coffee cups in recycling bins because they can't be recycled because it's not possible to separate the plastic inner liner of the cups from the paper component.
But yesterday when I was at Tim Horton's I saw a bin on it with a sign that said "place your empty cups and other recyclables here".
So basically Tim Horton's claims their coffee cups can be recycled while the City of Toronto says they can't.
Who is telling the truth?
