ReThink Disposable: August Hall

August Hall in San Francisco replaced their compostable plastic cups with reusable TURN cups with an estimated annual cost of $13,000. Taking into account the expense of TURN cups and not having to purchase single-use disposable cups, August Hall expects to achieve an annual net cost savings of $29,700, while reducing the annual use of 232,000 single-use plastic cups and 5,000 pounds of plastic trash. Additionally, these savings will be augmented by reductions in refuse hauling fees.
