How should I dispose of Nespresso home compostable capsules?

Here are some easy ways to dispose of your Nespresso home compostable capsules:
- If you have a home composter, simply throw used capsules in there. Composting is a simple way to turn your kitchen and yard waste into something useful for your garden.
- Please take note that biodegradable packaging is not accepted in all municipal compost collection. If you’re unsure about your local waste services, it’s always best to check first. In the canton of Geneva, paper-based Nespresso capsules are accepted in the public biowaste management system known as "La P'tite Poubelle Verte".
- During this pilot phase, Nespresso is giving customers without home composting the opportunity to bring the capsules back to us in the boutique, using a special bag. And if composting is not for you, we recommend trying our aluminum capsules which can be easily recycled.
- Although we recommend home composting as the best solution for organic waste, compostable capsules placed in the general waste bin will be incinerated capturing energy created by the heat. Indeed, in Switzerland, general waste does not go to landfill and is therefore efficiently revalorised.
