Expanded Composting Program
For the past few months, we've been working with the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Division to become certified as a ReBusiness Partner. Through our collaborative efforts, we are able to implement programs at
each location to enhace the 4 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rebuy).
The first step was to perform waste assessments at our upstate cafes, Roastery and Headquarters. While we have always recycled everything we can, there was more we could do. So, we increased the number of customer recycling bins at all locations. Next, we're going to expand our composting program - so get used to putting your hot cups, cold cups, napkins, cup
sleeves, straw wrappers and sugar packets into compost bins. The trash will
become the compost bin into which most everything will go. And if it's
not compostable, it's most likely recyclable.
It will take a bit of education and a slight change in behavior when discarding your items, but we'll do our best to make the transition an easy one.

Hello,
I am the marketing administrator for McCullagh Coffee in Buffalo, NY and we have a new 100% compostable coffee program, called Ecoverde Coffee. Who would i speak to about possibly bringing this line into Gimme Coffee?
The spent coffee grounds, filter, package, and soon the delivery box are all 100% food waste compostable.
Thank you for your time.
