"We are delighted to announce our partnership with the eco-innovator, TerracycleŽ to offer an exciting recycling opportunity for used Nespresso capsules through the Nespresso Ecolaboration BrigadeŽ.
"Every time you enjoy Nespresso, save the capsule and start collecting them. You can then bring them back to one of our collection points for recycling at your nearest Nespresso Boutique.
"If you have any questions about the service, our Coffee Specialists will be happy to answer them. You can contact us at 866.212.8481 for more information."
Don't know if this has been launched in the US yet. I know it's been going in Europe for a couple of years now.
A new recycling scheme started in the UK a couple of months ago. A green collection bag comes with your order. Deposit used capsules in the bag and then when you order again, you book a collection and the delivery company takes them away when they deliver your new capsules. I think it is a great idea. I have only returned one filled bag so far but I have learnt to let the capsules dry out before they go in the green bag or it gets incredibly mouldy and smelly!
