Merici College Green Tip #26 – Your used coffee pods…

What can you do when this…

Leads to this…

  1. Choose aluminium pods – be sure they do not contain plastic,
  2. Once used, open the lid with a blunt implement,
  3. Empty the coffee grounds into your compost or garden,
  4. Rinse the pod and leave to dry,
  5. Squash the pod – a can from the pantry works,
  6. Fold the squashed pod in half and place inside an aluminium can,
  7. When the can is full, you can place it in your yellow recycling bin.
