RECYCLE Coffee Grounds
Did you know that spent coffee grounds are the perfect compost input:
- They smell good.
- They absorb and hold moisture which is so critical to the compost pile.
- They are one of the few sources of nitrogen that is widely available year-round to people in urban and suburban areas.
- They are easily stored for days in a closed plastic bag.
- They are free.
- They are available in large quantities.
This year, world production is estimated to reach 7,658,780 tons of coffee
beans. That's a whole lot of coffee -- and a whole lot of spent grounds.
Wonder what is happening to all those grounds. Are they going to the landfill or being reincorporated into the earth? This concerns over 7.5 million tons of organic material generated each year. If we just reclaim coffee grounds, we can make a significant difference in the volume of organics recycled rather than landfilled.
