Whistler Businesses:
Join the reusables movement!

Whistler is known for its breathtaking nature, active lifestyle and eco-conscious culture.
Local cafés can champion these values by joining this sustainable solution to single-use cups.
Together we can shape a cleaner, greener future.

Check-Out the Cup

  • A staff member scans the cup’s QR code using the reusables check-out device.

    Multiple cups can be scanned under one person.

Customer Tap & Setup

  • The customer taps their card on the reusables card reader (Stripe).
    After tapping, they can choose to add their phone number to receive return reminders.

    Alternatively, customers can use a Reuser ID by downloading the reusables app and setting up an account.

Return Options

  • Customers can return cups at any participating business during opening hours.

    To return, they scan the cup’s QR code using the smart return tablet, then place the cup in the assigned return bin.

  • Smart Bins will be located throughout the village and on the mountain, providing convenient return options that are accessible outside regular business hours.

    You can currently find a Smart Bin in the Whistler Public Library lobby, with more locations coming soon.
