This fall, SWACO is brewing up something special for central Ohio residents and encouraging them to rethink their morning routine with Cuptober Fest, a new initiative to get coffee lovers to ditch the disposable cups and choose to reuse. October 6-10, you can save $1 on the purchase of any hot or cold (non-alcoholic) beverage in a reusable cup at any of five select coffee shops around Franklin County. Simply mention “Choose To Reuse” when ordering at Black Kahawa Coffee, Coffee Connections of Hilliard, or at any of the three Kitties Cakes locations to participate.
To help celebrate Cuptober Fest, the Central Ohio Reuse Coalition is also offering 50% off the one-time enrollment fee of $10 for its reusable coffee cup program. This offer is valid only for October 5. Use code REUSE2025 to redeem.
