A Close Up Of Dark Brown Coffee Grounds. Stock Image

Coffee is the most popular drink worldwide, with around two billion cups consumed every day, according to the British Coffee Association. Even accounting for a proportion being instant coffee, that still results in a huge amount of coffee grounds – the term for the waste left over from a coffee percolator or filter. Like most organic kitchen waste, coffee grounds are great to recycle in the garden to benefit your soil and your plants and this is far better for the environment than adding it to household bins or pouring it down the drain where it could cause blockages.
