Not that I know of. I think it has to do with all the different contaminants that can be in the cups. I'm thinking this because we stopped recycling the aluminum tins that the meals are heated in for that reason. Still doesn't make a lot of sense though because we DO recycle the black plastic trays that the Y meals come in and those can have a lot of junk on them too.
As of now, unless there's some behind the scenes sorting going on, it's just cans, paper, black meal trays and plastic bottles.
