Recycle your coffee pods with Podback

Podback is a not-for-profit coffee pod recycling service. Created in partnership with the biggest names in coffee pod systems, Nespresso, NESCAFE Dolce Gusto and Tassimo, to give people who enjoy the quality and taste of coffee pods simple and easy ways to recycle them. 

Ipswich Borough Council is working with Podback to provide this pioneering new service, enabling you to recycle your coffee pods every week as part of your normal kerbside waste and recycling collections.  

How to get started

It’s easy to get involved – simply follow the steps below.

1. Sign up 

To register and order your free recycling bags, please visit the following website:

2. Get your bags

Podback will send you two rolls of bags, plus a caddy if you use NESCAFE Dolce Gusto coffee pods, for recycling your aluminium OR plastic coffee pods along with an instructional leaflet.

3. Start recycling your pods

Once you have your bags, simply follow the instructions and put them out for kerbside collection with your other waste and recycling containers by 6am on your normal collection day.  

We collect coffee pods every week, using both our household waste and recycling vehicles - this means you can put your coffee pods out on a blue or a black bin week.
