The Fillmore, San Francisco
The Fillmore is a 1,199-person capacity music venue located in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California and, fittingly, where Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable avant-garde multimedia show took place.
The Fillmore transitioned from using compostable plastic cups to using TURN reusable cups in various sizes (5, 9, 12, 16, and 24-ounce sizes).
Business Profile:
Due to the higher cost of TURN cups compared to compostable plastic cups, the venue will incur an additional expense of $700 per year. However, The Fillmore may offset this cost by reducing their composting service by half after the introduction of TURN reusable cups.
Recology estimates that these changes in volume will result in an 8% reduction in service fees, which comes out to annual savings of $2,100. Taking into account both the slight increase in cost for TURN cups and the anticipated refuse savings, The Fillmore is projected to achieve a net annual savings of $1,400.
