Bring Your Own
Bring your own reusable cup when out for coffee, containers for leftovers when dining out, and reusable bags for the grocery store. To further reduce waste, keep a reusable straw and utensils in your bag as you never know when you’ll need.
Support Eco-Friendly Food & Drink Places
Choose coffee shops, restaurants, and bars that minimize single-use packaging, including through using less packaging or providing reusables. Austin Reuse Coalition stickers on coffee shop doors/registers can help identify these places!
Opt for Second Hand
Organizations like Austin Creative Reuse, Heartening, thrift stores, and others in the Austin Reuse Directory accept and make available a wide range of items. Supporting local second hand options by purchasing and/or donating reduces landfill waste.
