  • K-Cup® Pods CAN be Recycled

    Coffee Beans - K-Cup Pods can be recycled.
    Thumbs Up for Recycling

    The Grounds to Grow On™ recycling service offers workplaces an easy way to collect their brewed Keurig® K-Cup® pods to be recycled. The process is simple: place your brewed pods in the Grounds to Grow On™ bin. Once the bin is full, present the bin with its pre-paid shipping label to UPS for pick-up, or drop it off at to any UPS location. They take it from there, turning the K-Cup® pods into recycled products – like aluminum cans and shipping pallets – and the coffee grounds into compost.

    Yes, there is a fee for the recycling boxes which is substantial, but works out to about eight cents per pod. This is probably a small price to pay to help our environment.
