I live in a rather small town that only has one Starbucks location other than the one in Target.  I am a daily customer so I've become communicative with much of the staff.  While waiting for my drink and watching other's drinks being made I realized how many gallon sized milk containers they go through in an hour let alone in a day. I asked how many a week and the response was more than 100 on a slow week. Then, asking what I thought was a silly question based on how much emphasis Starbucks places on being eco friendly while trying to sell us their reusable cups, I asked if they recycle.  The response was, "No." 

I'm asking Starbucks to mandate recycling in every single location across the globe, no exceptions.
