Make the switch to a reusable coffee cup today!
Plastic Free Cafes aims to reduce the amount of litter and waste created by single use plastic items such as takeaway coffee cups and plastic straws. We are encouraging our community to Choose Reusable alternatives over single use plastic items.

Participating cafes in Toronto and Warners Bay are offering good quality reusable cups at a subsidised price of just $2, thanks to a NSW Government Community Litter Grant.

The compact folding pocket cups have an air-tight sealing lid, are BPA free, microwave and dishwasher safe and are made of food grade silicone.
Join the thousands of Lake Macquarie residents who are making the switch away from single-use plastics.

Choose to reuse

Remember your cup
  • Leave a note at the door, set an alert on your phone, or put your cup straight into your bag or car after it's washed.

Don't be a Tosser
  • 'Disposable' cups are not recyclable. They either end up in landfill or littering our streets, parks and waterways.
Relax
  • If you get stuck without your reusable cup, take a few minutes to sit down for your coffee.
Keep it clean
  • Wash your cup as soon as you can. If you're on the move, rinse it out and wash up properly later.
Feel good
  • Choosing a reusable cup prevents waste, litter and carbon emissions.
About the project
Grant funding from the NSW Government is enabling us to purchase good quality reusable cups in bulk, and to distribute them to local businesses for sale at a subsidised price. The project is currently limited to participating businesses in Toronto and Warners Bay.
We'd love to expand the project around Lake Macquarie in future. Please get in touch if your business is interested in participating in this or other Plastic Free Lake Mac projects.
A project of the Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance.

Proudly funded by the NSW Government.
