Word has it that the following cafes in Nelson are doing a BYOC (Bring Your Own Container) scheme for takeaway coffees:

Kush Coffee (who offer a 20 cent discount to customers who bring their own mug), Cafe Affair, Cafe Yaza, Hardy St Cafe, Chai & Yellow Cafe, Devine Coffee Roasters,  and Nelson City Fresh Choice.

Attempting to counteract the vast quanity of plastic plus polystyrene containers that are wastefully filling up landfills, some commited local business owners have embraced the new concept.
