There are approximately 170 Starbucks locations in Toronto and none of them use the Toronto Recycling or Green Bin system. They throw out all their waste, including coffee grounds, recyclable lids and sleeves and all packaging into garbage bins to be sent to landfills. Please sign the petition below if you believe that Starbucks and other private businesses should use the City's available recycling and green bin system for as much waste as possible.
Seeing this momentum climb feels heavy because the reality of the waste we are fighting is just as constant. I am exhausted by the pushback but seeing so many people demand better keeps me going.

it makes no sense that they dont have a green bin. coffee grounds are literally compost. so much waste going to the landfill for no reason.
