WASTE DEFERRAL

Roastar is committed to reducing landfill waste by offering recyclable and compostable packaging with disposal labels. We work with collection services and local parks to improve recycling education and reduce single-use plastic waste in our community and facility.

Our Wrapped bag collection program makes it easy to collect and return Roastar's store drop-off recyclable bags, keeping them out of the landfill.
