Recycling in partnership with F. Gaviña & Sons, Inc.
TerraCycle® and F. Gaviña & Sons, Inc., makers of Don Francisco’s Coffee and Café La Llave Espresso, have partnered to create a free national recycling program for their coffee bags and pods.
How it works
Participating is simple and free.
What you can recycle
Don Francisco's Coffee Family Reserve® bags, single-serve coffee pods and espresso capsules, Café La Llave® espresso capsules and espresso-style single-serve coffee pods
PLEASE NOTE: Coffee bags and pods from other brands are not accepted through this program.
What happens to your recyclables
Once collected, the packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.
Rewards
Shipments in the Coffee Bag and Pod Recycling Program must be at least 7 pounds to earn TerraCycle points (for reference, that’s about 300 pieces of waste or a little less than the weight of a gallon of milk). For all qualifying shipments, 100 points per pound will be awarded.
Awarded TerraCycle points can be allocated toward a variety of charitable gifts or redeemed as a payment of $0.01 per point to the non-profit organization or school of your choice. Each coffee pod you send in will earn approximately 2.4 TerraCycle points and will be counted based on an average unit weight of 0.024 pounds
