How are reusable cups washed? Everything you need to know

When and how are reusable cups washed?

After use, all cups are professionally cleaned in our specialised washing facilities. This guarantees absolute hygiene, but also ensures that the cups last longer and can be used again and again. As a customer, you don’t have to worry about a thing, we take care of the entire process.
Here’s how it works:

• Cups are collected after use in sealable crates or containers.
• They are picked up and transported to a professional washing facility.
• In industrial dishwashers, the cups are thoroughly washed, disinfected and dried.
• We then store them hygienically or deliver them again for their next use.

Thanks to this streamlined approach, our cups are always clean, safe, and ready for the next round.

On-site rinsing at city-wide events

At events where cups need to be reused quickly, such as city festivals, concerts, or sporting events, we also offer flexible solutions for on-site rinsing.

Two commonly used options:

• Rinsing by hospitality partners: For short-term reuse on the same day, hospitality operators can rinse the cups themselves, for example using a rinsing sink or dishwasher behind the bar.
• Mobile rinse units: For larger events, we can deploy mobile rinse stations. This allows cups to be cleaned and ready for use again within minutes, without needing to return to the central washing facility.

This makes it possible to safely and efficiently reuse large volumes of cups, even during peak times.

Professional cleaning is always part of the system 

At Rubbish Reusables, washing isn’t an optional service, it’s an essential part of our product. We believe professional cleaning is the key to a reliable and sustainable reusable cup system. It ensures consistency, prevents loss of quality, and meets the strictest hygiene standards.

There’s no need, or reason, to wash the cups yourself. By leaving the process to us, organisers and businesses can count on convenience, quality, and smooth operations.

Conclusion

Reusable cups are not only an environmentally friendly alternative to single-use items, they are a smart, future-proof choice. But reuse only works when every part of the system is right. At Rubbish Reusables, we provide that foundation: professional cleaning, reliable logistics, and smooth redeployment.

Together, we’re building a circular system, hassle-free, waste-free, and always with a clean start
