Keurig Canada wants to tell every Torontonian they can put Keurig coffee “pods” in blue bins with paper, empty jars and other city-approved recyclables. Other Canadian cities, most of which don’t recycle coffee pods, can also expect a surge in them. “They’re advertising within the city limits that (Keurig coffee pods are) recyclable when they’re actually not recyclable within the city limits. All recycling costs Toronto money and there’s no budget to start subsidizing coffee pods, he said. “The irony is this particular package is made for convenience — that’s the point of single-serving coffee pods, they are convenient to use,” Godard said.
