No, the aid station workers clean up the used cups. If you worked at an aid station like I have, you would know this.
Not allowing disposable cups has nothing to do "saving the planet". If an environmental impact study was done, it would show the most environmentally friendly solution is to use disposable cups.
If everybody carries a water bottle, you don't NEED aid station workers. You just put a barrel of water on a table and let the runners refill as they go by. How lazy do you have to be to expect somebody else to pour you a glass of water while you are running through the woods?
Makes no difference to me as I never drink water during a race. I look at water stops as that chance to pass the person in front of me who stops. I can only remember a couple times where they passed me back later in the race. One of those was a road race.
