The Cardiff Refill Return Cup Scheme: How to Get Your Free Drink This Friday (21st Feb)

To celebrate a key milestone for Cardiff’s pioneering ‘Refill Return Cup’ scheme, more than 20 participating businesses across the city will be offering 50 customers each a free coffee (or hot drink) of their choice on Friday 21st Feb.

The ‘Cardiff Refill Return Cup’ initiative, a first for Wales, enables customers to ‘borrow’ a reusable coffee cup from any participating venue and return it later to be washed and reused.

Since launch, the scheme has saved a whopping 8,000 cups from ending up in landfill.
