Skip the single-use cup and the plastic spoon. Take out cups for ice cream are usually made of either clear plastic, coated paper, or Styrofoam, neither of which are recyclable. Ordering your ice cream in a cone allows you to eat your bowl! Even if you decide that you don’t want to eat the cone, it’s compostable.
Some ice cream stores give you the option of buying larger quantities in a reusable container. This is a great option for reducing waste and saves you money! For example, Crave Creamery on Baltimore Pike in Springfield sells quart size glass jars for taking home ice cream. Each time you bring it back, you get a discount on the refill.
