Q: What is the K-Cycle® program?
The K-Cycle® recycling service offers workplaces an easy way to collect their brewed Keurig® K-Cup® pods to be 100% recycled.
-
Q: How does the K-Cycle® program work?
The process is simple: place your brewed Keurig® K-Cup® pods in the K-Cycle® recovery bin. Once the bin is full, present the bin with its pre-paid shipping label to UPS for pick-up, or drop it off at any UPS location. We take it from there with the help of g2 revolution®, an innovative recycling company. The K-Cup® pod components are separated and turned into compost and recycled productions — creating goods with a useful second life, such as shipping pallets.
