Pelham Manor Expands Recycling to Include Small Aluminum Items

PELHAM MANOR, NY (November 13, 2026) — Residents of Pelham Manor can now recycle small aluminum items, such as Nespresso coffee pods and aluminum bottle caps, with their regular curbside commingled recycling.

The Village of Pelham Manor announced the new recycling initiative, emphasizing that plastic coffee pods are not accepted and should be disposed of in the trash. This move is part of efforts to keep Pelham Manor clean and green.

The program is available to more than 900,000 residents served by the Refuse Disposal District and gives people another simple way to recycle from home. The Department of Environmental Facilities’ Material Recovery Facility in Yonkers will process those small aluminum items, where new technology helps recover materials that might otherwise be missed and puts them back into use.

For more information, residents are encouraged to visit the Westchester County website where additional details are available.
