Four cafes on the Peninsula have partnered with Central Coast Council to promote the use of reusable coffee cups.

The Council has identified disposable coffee cups as a major contributor to litter in the area. “Reusable coffee cups are a better choice and it is easy to get into the habit of taking a reusable cup to your local cafe,” according to Council’s environmental education section. “Central Coast Council is partnering with local responsible cafes to support the community in making simple changes to reduce litter.

“Council is providing partnering cafes with a limited number of reusable coffee cups to give away to regular customers who would otherwise buy coffee in disposable cups.” Participating cafes are Treble Clef in Umina, Helado in Ettalong, Fudge Monkey in Woy Woy and Jasmine Greens in Umina.
