In a bid to decrease the amount of coffee capsules going into landfill, locals are encourage to join the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Recycling Program. Established in 2014 by the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto team and recycling pioneers TerraCycle, the program turns used coffee, milk, tea and chocolate capsules into recycled materials that can be transformed into planter boxes, playground equipment and park benches. Spokesperson Gemma Kaczerepa says the donation process is simple. "It's really easy, you just need to head to our website which is terracycle.com.au, sign up to the program, collect any old box or bag and then put your used capsules in that bag and then once it's full, you just need to drop it off at your nearest Australia Post with a free shipping label attached which you can also download from our website. Then it all gets sent off for free."

The Shoalhaven Mariners Junior Baseball Club and Ewing Electrical are taking part in TerraCycle’s nationwide program to promote the recycling of products many people just throw out. Toothpaste tubes and caps, toothbrushes, toothbrush and toothpaste tube outer packaging, floss containers, NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Capsules, all cosmetics packaging, hair care packaging and skin care packaging are all part of TerraCycle’s program. By collecting previously unrecyclable products and sending them to TerraCycle money will be given to the Mariners.

The coffee company's Dolce Gusto team has partnered with TerraCycle for the program, which will turn coffee, milk, tea, and chocolate capsules into planter boxes, playground equipment, and park benches TerraCycle extracts the coffee grounds and sends them to an industrial composting facility, while the plastic from each capsule is melted down and turned into pellets that can be used to make the recycled products.

Collection boxes 9Rv have set up REUSE collection boxes and each class member is responsible for managing a collection. Please save the following items and deliver to the REUSE station in the covered area where the vending machine used to reside: ... Please support these initiatives. In doing so, as a community we can significantly reduce waste to landfill. Each product collected as part of the Terracycle program earns Rangi Ruru 2 cents. This quickly adds up and we can earn money from waste to support our nominated charity Cool Earth. Cool Earth is proven to be an effective charity making a difference in protecting/supporting rain forests and their communities. We also have the opportunity of winning $1000 through the Colgate Oral Care competition by collecting tooth brushes, tooth paste, floss containers and all associated packaging (any brands)
