I’m re-using this stream to let folks using Omnipod’s (all varieties: 5s, Dash, Eros) know Insulet has reportedly (LnL’s most recent newsletter) expanded their re-cycling program US wide. You can request a kit to send your pods back to Insulet for re-cycling at [Pod Recycling | Omnipod](https://www.omnipod.com/pod-recycling-pilot) . The kit provides for sending up to 60 pods at a time back to Insulet, that’s roughly half a year if you use 3-days each. Providing Insulet actually does what they say, this addresses a significant waste stream! Don’t wait, order a kit and use a baggie to start collecting your pods for return! Now if we could get pen manufacturer’s to do the same, eh?!
