too far to travel
Your drop off points are at least 24 miles from my home, That is a 48mile round trip for me and as I passionately want to recycle and reuse I also cannot justify over a gallon of fuel to do so and the emission thereof. Please provide a mail service through the post office if you want to help the environment. Meanwhile I have no alternative but to put the pods into plastic recycling which is less helpful to the environment than I would like.

Hello Jenny,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We have dialled back our Yodel service but 24 miles each way means that it should still be available to you.
Please complete the Recycle Checker again. When you see the map and the list of supermarkets, zoom in as far as possible. The link to Yodel should then be available to you.
If you still cannot see Yodel, please contact our customer service team https://podback.org/contact-us
Best wishes,
The Podback Team

Hello Fiona,
We appreciate you have taken the time to leave us a review, we know removing the Yodel drop-off point has made things harder for some people, and we're genuinely sorry it's affected you this way. The decision wasn’t taken lightly — it came off the back of lots of negative feedback about issues with Yodel collections, but we realise that doesn’t make it any less frustrating when your nearest option now feels too far away. We're working with our partners to make it more accessible where we can.
Best Wishes,
The Podback Team

Disappointed
It was so easy to print at home and dropoff at a local point near our house. Not everyone has a Morrisons or ASDA near you!

Not an improvement
When I took the pods to the local Asda, which I had to drive to, nobody had any idea what I was talking about! Definitely not an improvement on the previous arrangement where I walked to my local shops in minutes

Simples!
Everything was made very easy and convenient to recycle pods. ask for bags ,fill bags, send off bags easy. As I now have local facilities in my recycling centre I probably won't have to use bag system anymore but thanks for what you did.

Hello Ray,
Thank you for leaving us a fantastic 5-star review! We're so happy to read you're making the most of the Costa Coffee trial and finding the drop-off more convenient than Yodel. This trial has been a great success and continues to go from strength to strength with your support.

I don’t drive so can’t get to a drop off point. Without collections the service is now useless to me. Pods will be going into the waste bin.

Hello Zoe,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed by the removal of the Yodel drop-off service for Tassimo pods. This change was made following significant feedback from users who experienced challenges with the service, and after careful consideration of how best to manage hard-to-recycle materials going forward.
We acknowledge that this change may not suit everyone and understand your frustration, especially if the nearest drop-off point isn’t convenient. We are actively working with our partners to expand access and improve coverage where possible.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
Best wishes,
The Podback Team
Simple to use and great way to avoid plastic waste
We have been using a Tassimo machine for a long time and initially felt quite guilty about the amount of plastic waste it was causing. We were pleased when the Podback service was initially introduced and the service keeps getting better. It is now so simply to use - just bag the pods and drop off at the local supermarket while shopping and doing our bit to avoid the plastic waste.

I live in a village with a Co-op and you ended the contract with them a few months ago. I'm 74 and don't drive - so, thanks to you they now go into landfill. Well done Podback!

Good service from Podback
I have always used podback for Dolce Gusto pods. When they first changed the system away from drop off at shops and collection by Yodel my nearest recycling point was too far away. I contacted them and received a quick response. The system has quickly improved. I have since dropped off at Costa in Tesco and at my local Morrisons. Costa in Tesco and Morrisons will now give you new bags. The system is now efficient and easy and I recommend it.

Excellent service
I just want to say how impressed I am with the Podback recycling service. My used pods were handed to the barista in the Costa cafe in Tesco, and new bags were sent to me from Podback, free of charge, by post. These arrived very quickly, and I was kept informed by Podback throughout.

Seems to be broken, defunct or deaf to the world
I tried to register with this company but their registration process never completed and so I sent them an email - then another... but no response. I wonder if this a reflection on the quality of the service they offer if you do manage to register!!

Ruined the Collection Method
Changed the recycling collection method without ensuring adequate replacements were in place. Now 18 mile round trip to recycle which defeats the object. Messaged them and they suggested another location which was 25 miles away. I think my Tassimo machine will end up back in the cupboard

Hello Mr Reed
Thank you for your feedback.
Sorry to hear you're disappointed about the Yodel drop-off service ending for Tassimo pods. We made the change after a lot of feedback from people who had issues with it, and after thinking carefully about how to handle tricky-to-recycle materials. We know it might not work for everyone and get that it’s frustrating if there's no easy drop-off nearby. We're working with our partners to make it more accessible where we can.
Best wishes,
The Podback Team
Not local, not convenient
For the past two years, I have dropped my pods at the local Co-op, in the town centre. Now I have to drive to another town, to a supermarket chain I never use - hardly party of my 'daily lifestyle'. I've read several reviews, complete with replies in the usual corporate drivel. Very disappointing, but I'll try to do the right thing, and make an unnecessary, inconvenient journey.
