Furthermore, it seems odd to complain about how “wasteful” these items are while you sit on a computer in a home/office which both cause about 1000x the amount of “waste” and “landfill” as a Nespresso and Keuring.

Exactly.

perfect TL;DR

Or you can mail them in their pre-stamped sealed bags.

Nespresso will send you a self-addressed, postage paid UPS bag to ship the pods back for recycling. They are really into the recycling thing... There is no excuse for not recycling them.

A quick phone call to Nespresso and they’ll send you a free UPS mailer into which you toss the used pods. When it’s full, seal and drop into a UPS box. Yes, the truck uses fuel, road wear, whatever. But my morning latte costs a fraction of that at the coffee shop and I didn’t have to drive there.

Don’t use these, they are just sitting in landfill - writer
