♻️ Did you know over 30% of downtown Breckenridge’s waste by weight is coffee cups? ☕️

As of this Memorial Day Weekend, 6 Breckenridge cafés are launching The Colorado Cup, a borrow-and-return drinkware program from Retrocycle in collaboration with Sustainable Breck

💡How it works:
1. Order your drink in a Colorado Cup
2. Pay a $2.50 deposit, enjoy your drink, then
3. Return your cup to any participating café to get that deposit back as a discount on a future purchase. Each cup is washed on-site and back in circulation, helping reduce single use waste.

Participating Cafes include: The Crown LoLo Juice Cool River Coffee House and Cafe Mountain View Coffee Bar Semplice Cafe and Ullr cafe at the Grand Colorado on Peak 8 on Peak 8

Local artist, Nikki LaRochelle collaborated on the design of The Colorado Cup, as well as a special ‘Breck Cup’, featuring the 10-mile range and retro nod to Breckenridge’s 1970’s ski heritage. Breckenridge is the first geographic pilot of the Colorado Cup program, with expansion to other mountain towns underway.

🚨Attention Breck Businesses - Interested in participating as a café? Please contact Hayden at SustainableBreck to learn more at: [email protected] or the Retrocycle team at [email protected]

Sip sustainably and help reduce single-use waste in Breckenridge!
