How do we recycle the aluminum capsules?

It depends on where you live. If you live in the United States you can take capsules to Nespresso boutiques or Sur La Table store for recycling. If you do not live near any of these establishments and if your local recycling accepts aluminum, you can use a knife to cut out the foil lid on used capsules, empty out the spent coffee grounds, and then put the empty capsules in with your recyclable metals (that's what I do).

If you are asking about recycle the aluminum for saving the environment, I don't. It is not economical feasible for anyone in the developed country to recycle the capsule. It made for one time use, so You can't reuse the capsule.

I never tried that, but it seems possible. However, why pay more to get it prepared in capsule form if you are going to take it apart anyway?

We keep it in a plastic jug from cat litter after cutting the top open with tin snips. Switzerland is noted for precision cast aluminum products. Perhaps the Duranimals scoop is made there. �

These cartridges are disposable and cannot be refilled but .... as they are metal, they can be recycled.

There is no recycle code on the bottom. They do have a telephone number on the bottom to which you might be able to inquire: 072-287-1851

That is a good question for which I am also trying to answer. It seems you are not supposed to throw them in the recycling or regular trash for fear some people would leave gas in them and they might blow up and injure someone when the trash is processed. I have checked the internet and the only reasonable answer I have found is to save them and turn them in at a hazardous waste collection site if your community happens to have one yearly like a lot of communities. Good luck.

Don't know if this is the answer that you are looking for, the bottle has a recycle triangle with the number 5 and PP stamped underneath.

What do you mean by 'recyclable'? They last for years...when there aren't any more blue pellets left you just put them in the microwave or oven. Instructions are included.

Recycle at home depot/lowes or any other establishment with such facility. You may google for in your area or contact the sanitation department.

I just rinse them out and put them in the recycling bins. They are completely recyclable, you just have to rinse any food out.

From http://www.ifyoucare.com/less-waste:"The packaging of every product is made from unbleached and whenever possible, recycled cardboard or paper which should be recycled again. The coffee filters, parchment paper, baking cups, waxed paper and sandwich bags are 100% biodegradable and should be composted. The aluminum foil is made from recycled aluminum and can be recycled again."So, to answer your question, yes. And thank you for caring =)

I don't know, but would like to have an idea of how to recycle/dispose of the stack of used cartridges I have. We haven't had much luck with vendors like Staples, but will try Office Depot. Halle Weingarten

If they are completely used then recycle them at Office depot or Staples. They will give you rewards dollars for trading them in.
