Yeah – and how is the average person supposed to know that a coffee cup (which is paper and plastic) is not considered a "beverage container" in this circumstance. It's so dumb.
Also interesting, in Manitoba, coffee cups can't be recycled at all due to the wax on them. As well, "dark plastic" lids like those you get at McDonalds, Parlour, etc. cannot be recycled.
