Which pods can I recycle?

There are currently 16 brands in the scheme including Nespresso, NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto and Tassimo. The full list can be found on the Podback website. All pods from the listed member brands can be recycled.

What else can I recycle?

You can already recycle your unwanted textiles and broken small electricals with our free bookable kerbside collection service. And you can also recycle your used batteries, which can simply be popped in a clear plastic bag and placed on top of your green-top refuse bin or your blue-top recycling bin on your normal collection day.

Residents in Horsham District achieve some of the best recycling rates in the UK, so we are sure coffee pod recycling will be a great success.
