Yeah they'll be washed. 3 hours ago, reynard said: The cups will be used on all concourse areas, with designated recycle bins located around King Power Stadium for supporters to dispose of their cups so that they can be washed after each match and recirculated.

Just give us the plastic bottle you morons. Assume they'll just dish wash them tbh, probably a deeper clean than a normal dishwasher but assume that's how they make them reusable. But i do wonder if there's a limited amount of usage they're allowed for each cup till they need replacing. I don't understand why they don't just pump some money in and have the majority of options on tap, remove the plastic bottles altogether and then the reusing cups works better. Hopefully there's more to it than what they've done and they've just simplified it down for the statement.

They are optional tho ain’t they just because they are on the seat doesn’t mean you have to use them or take them home Put it on the floor and it will be collected and recycled

Stadt Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 Just get Everards and Braybrooke beers in on draught/cask. Better beer, less transportation, less waste.

In that order. Not making it in the first place is 100x better than recycling it.

I'd wager the minimum wage contract cleaners, sweep all the discarded crap into 1 bag and bin it. I'll wait to be proved wrong but having worked as a cleaner at the club 12 or so years ago when the staff were employees directly employed by the club compared to when most left after they sun contacted it those directly employed cared. Not sure they do noe. Unless they have gone back to direct staff.
Filberts Treat Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 I won’t drink that p1$$ they serve down there anyway. Get Everards on board
PAULCFC Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 At the tigers they have thick plastic glasse''s with one of the players pic and stats on then,you pay a £1 deposit.Then you can either take it back and get your pound back or keep it to try and collect them all.A lot of youngsters go round picking the discarded cup's up to get a bit of money.

Can't trust nasty football fans with them though can you, you'll get them being thrown on the pitch*... *In truth there would be idiots doing that.

SheppyFox Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 This isn’t a positive step, I’ve seen some of the teeth belonging to some of our fans, I don’t believe they can sterilise these re usable cups enough, not once some of the heathens down there have used them. 😱😱
Houdini Logic Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 A lot of clappers seem to get recycled in the direction of the linesman in L1
Wolfox Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 9 hours ago, Sol thewall Bamba said: Good start. Making clappers collection only rather than put out on all seats (which the club have said they were going to do previously), would reduce massive amounts of waste too. Maybe they’ve have had there time? It’s not good for the environment is it…
Wolfox Posted 1 November 2019 Posted 1 November 2019 Without getting political…. These things always play around the edges…. Plastic cups, straws and now coat hangers have become the green peril de jour…. I In the grand scheme these make very little impact…. The things that do take real change and compromise are a bit inconvenient…. So we tend not to address them…. These items only act to soothe our collective green conscience
yorkie1999 Posted 2 November 2019 Posted 2 November 2019 Should offset the carbon footprint laid down by ripping up half the Leicestershire countryside to sick a new trading ground in and rebuilding the stadium.
