Coffee Pods

Can I recycle it?

Yes, but only through approved coffee pod recycling programmes or manufacturer take-back schemes.

Why? Coffee pods contain a mix of aluminium or plastic, along with coffee grounds that require specialist processing.

How should I dispose of it?

  • Check your pod brand's recycling programme.
  • Return used pods through collection points or mail-back schemes.
  • Follow any instructions for emptying pods before recycling.

What happens next? The pod materials are separated and recycled, while coffee grounds may be composted.

Top Tip - Not all coffee pods are accepted in kerbside recycling bins.
