YORCUP
By creating YORCUP, we've combined the convenience of a disposable cup with the environmental benefits of a reusable cup, as a way to help reduce the use of single-use cups across campus.

have been collected for recycling
How does the scheme work?
- Buy a YORCUP and sleeve for £5 from any outlet on campus and get your first drink for free
- Enjoy your drink and return the YORCUP to any outlet to be washed and stored. Keep your sleeve.
- When buying your next drink, show your sleeve, and it will be served in a clean YORCUP.
The YORCUP scheme is a joint initiative between the University of York Students' Union and the University, created in 2019 as part of our sustainability actions.
