    For anybody of a catholic disposition, the thought of individual cups - presumably with remnants of wine - being trashed is deeply depressing. The symbolism of someone following behind to bin the cups is close to parody.

    Surely they would be collected in a silver or gold plated bowl and then rinsed in the sacrarium.

    I’m not so sure, As they offer grape juice, this suggests they don’t have a terribly high view of the sacrament

    It seems terribly wasteful (and an environmental crime!) to simply throw away the wee cuppies, especially as they're reported as being plastic. It may be that they were collected up, and thoroughly cleaned after the service...
