Where do coffee pods go?
Coffee pods are separated by their different materials which include metals, plastics and organics (coffee grounds).
Metals are melted down to be recycled. Organics are composted and the remaining plastic is processed and made into new recycled plastic products.
Household waste and recycling collections will continue as normal.
Council waste and recycling facilities, including collection, treatment, disposal and transfer stations, are now open across all of Victoria.
Visitors must follow all directions and instructions for maintaining a COVIDSafe environment.
For more information on the location of your nearest facility, check the waste and recycling advice for your local council area.
For more information and updates, visit the Victorian Government’s coronavirus (COVID-19) website.
