Don’t worry, environmentally-conscious Caps fan: the Stanley Cup may not have a recycling symbol on its base, but that doesn’t mean it will go to waste [disposal] after only one use.

In an update released today, the Arlington County Department of Environmental Services were happy to they say that Stanley Cup, which is made of “silver and nickel alloy,” can “be maintained and recycled by the team annually for continued Arlington-Washington regional delight.”

Very good news for the team as they head into Round 1.
