Oh, yeah, definitely. We have a Dunkin' Donuts in the building I work in, and I admit that I grab something there every now and then. I take my own cup to avoid the Styrofoam, but the bags I can't avoid. But they are recyclable, and so that is where they go. Most people don't realize how much could be recycled that isn't. Does your Chinese take-out place use those plastic containers? Wash 'em out and recycle those things! That cup of yogurt you had? Same deal. The sad thing to me is when I learned just how small the percentage of plastic drink bottles recycled is. I was shocked. It's so easy! Most places will take them unrinsed and label on these days, even. I think that is why I often advocate for reusable rather than recyclable single-use.

I was having a laugh about it because it is a lot of product placement for one particular brand, but I have been doing this type of thing for years to reduce single-use.
