[GreenYes] #1 plastic cups

[Kking61101@aol.com]

Thank you to everyone for the info on biodegradeable packaging and utensils. I am still in need of #1 14oz. beer cups. I have found some locally, but the price is much higher than the #6 cups that we currently use for our event. We use approximately 200,000 - 300,000 for our annual Labor Day festival. The #1 cups I have found are about $.5 higher per cup than the #6, which adds up to a very substantial amount when you start to figure the quanities. I am starting a recycling program at the festival and a large percentage of our garbage is beer cups. I want to make the program as effective as possible by switching our type of cups and packaging, but I am afraid that because of the cost, it will not be approved by our Board of Directors. If anyone has any contacts in regards to this, please have them call me at 815-964-4388. 

Thank you, 
Karen King
