Coffee pods and capsules

The single-use pods used in many coffee machines are not usually accepted in your recycling collections from home, however some recycling schemes exist for these items.

Podback is a nationwide coffee pod recycling service set up and funded by the leading coffee pod systems, Nespresso, NESCAFE Dolce Gusto and Tassimo.

Podback offers a local drop-off service through Collect + by Yodel, and kerbside collections are available in some local authority areas. Currently, pods from 11 coffee brands including Nespresso, Nescafé Dolce Gusto, Tassimo, L’OR and CRU Kafe can be recycled through Podback.
