00:00Used coffee pods can now be recycled at three Leeds Household Waste Recycling Centres under a new trial.
00:07Leeds City Council has partnered with the not-for-profit Podback Scheme at sites in Kirkstall, Weatherby and Yeadon.
00:15Separate containers accept aluminium and plastic pods from participating brands.
00:20Pods should be dropped in loose, with grounds recycled through anaerobic digestion to create energy and soil improver,
00:28with compostable pods currently excluded.
00:31The council says the trial could cut waste and help residents recycle more easily.
00:36Other drop-off points are available online, and officials will review results before any wider rollout across the city, depending on the outcomes.
