Savannah, GA proposes pilot of reusable alumninum cups for to-go drink zones
The city's ordinances allow visitors to carry plastic drink cups throughout parts of the Historic District and Hutchinson Island. Local officials want to swap plastic cups for aluminum containers that can be reused rather than recycled. Bars and restaurants scan QR codes when containers are returned, while patrons receive surveys about the pilot. Savannah hopes to displace 50,000 plastic cups while working with businesses to offset upfront costs.
