Anyone own a Tassimo?

You know the plastic pods and the plastic outer wrappers they come in?
Well, you can send them off to a company called Terracycle who recycle them and make all sort of stuff.
You register with them and you print pre-paid postage labels and send them to them. You can nominate a charity and for every so many you send in, it raises money for the charity. Mine is Help For Heroes.
You can also collect and send other stuff to them. The recycled items you can collect is on their web site.
I'm not connected in any way to them, just thought I'd tell you as its a brilliant way to raise a bit of charity money and also you are recycling and it costs nothing.

Edited as stupid iPad thinks it knows how to spell.
 
I have a Nespresso machine... They recycle their pods too, but nothing charitable that I can remember...
 
Interesting Carol, not heard of this before. I love the Tassimo. Would need to drink loads to get to the 200 mark! What's your favourite Tassimo>? The Cremo Intenso is too bitter for me :(. And don't you find the coffees are too small?

Some of them are but I just top it up by pressing the button. My favourite is Colombian and you get a full mug size of that one. Delish!

I collect the pods in a shoebox sized box and when it's full I print a postage label and send them off. As long as the weight is below 2.5 kg you can send however many you want, when you want.
