The coffee pod recycling scheme has installed free drop off points at the St Philip’s, Hartcliffe Way and Avonmouth HRRCS.
Customers will be able to drop off both plastic and aluminium pods.
The move means that the coffee pod recycling company now has over 200 drop-off points across the UK.
Podback executive director Rick Hindley said: “The installation of our 200th local authority recycling centre service is a significant milestone in the expansion of Podback’s nationwide drop-off network.
“We have an active pipeline of authorities interested in adding Podback to their HWRCs, and these new partnerships with local authorities are key to our strategy of providing coffee-lovers with convenient local options for dropping off their pods as part of their regular routine.”
Podback accepts 80% of both types of pods sold in the UK, including coffee, tea, milk and hot chocolate pods.
The pods will need to be recycled in signposted separate containers at the recycling centre, so Podback advised storing them separately at home to make the process easier.
Aluminium pods will be sent to Cheshire to be recycled and the plastic pods are recycled in East Yorkshire.
The pods will be deposited loose without bags boxes or other packaging.
Customers will need to book an appointment at their closest recycling centre ahead of bringing the pods to be recycled. Visits can be booked up to two weeks in advance.
Those who come to the recycling centre by bike or by foot (the latter applies to the Hartcliffe Way site only) do not need to book.
Executive director of Podback Rick Hindley told Bristol Live: “It’s great to be able to partner with Bristol Waste Company to expand the Podback service to Bristol and to make coffee pod recycling more accessible for people in Bristol.
“Bristol is a city committed to sustainability, and this collaboration will empower residents to easily recycle their drinks pods, saving them from going to waste and ensuring valuable materials can be recycled and given a new life.
“We hope this initiative will serve as an inspiration for other cities across the UK to make improvements to their recycling infrastructure.”
