Wilton Go Green is excited to announce the launch of our newest program— 

Refill Not Landfill

DID YOU KNOW…

that billions of disposable single-use coffee cups are used annually in the U.S., along with the plastic lids and stirrers that are used with them? 

While many think these cups are recyclable, the fact is that they are lined with plastic to reduce leakage, rendering them trash and creating a huge burden on an already strained waste system. The plastic lids, straws and stirrers must meet the same fate. 

Fortunately, there is a very simple solution to this problem: reusable cups/mugs!

With the Refill Not Landfill program, Wilton Go Green is partnering with local businesses to encourage residents to bring their own reusable cups when buying hot and cold drinks.

Here’s How It Works:

1. Bring a clean, reusable cup or mug for refill at a participating local business OR Buy a reusable cup or mug (10% off) from participating local retailers.
2. Scan the QR code next to the the register and enter your name and email address.  You will be entered into a monthly prize drawing. 
3. Enjoy your beverage or new reusable mug!
4. REPEAT – You can enter EVERY time you buy a drink at any of the participating businesses.

The program will run from April 1 until August 31.
