57 Lincoln Kitchen (57 Lincoln St, Newton) has joined the family of restaurants in Newton offering reusable containers for take out orders. Just ask for a Recirclable container when you place your order and when you arrive to pick up your order, check the containers out (like a library book) using the Recirclable app. When you’ve finished your meal at home, you simply have to rinse and return the food containers to any participating restaurant.
57 Lincoln Kitchen joins the growing network of Recirclable restaurants that includes:
- Johnny’s Luncheonette in Newton Center
- Judith’s Kitchen in West Newton
- Grape Leaf in Newton Highlands
- Little Luke’s Cafe in Newton Upper Falls
- Paddy’s Pub in West Newton
Hundreds of Newton residents have used this service to reduce plastic waste while supporting local food establishments. Below are some pictures of food being packaged and picked up by Newton residents in Recirclable containers.
Here is how the takeout program works:
